Our stake has a tradition of working with the Austin ISD school board to choose a campus in need of revitalizing, and then we spend a Saturday morning fixing it up. (Last year our stake had about 800 volunteers come out; I think this year it was closer to 550.) There were about a dozen projects going on, but we helped clean up the track. It was completely overgrown with weeds, so we spent 2+ hours digging up weeds and smoothing out the gravel. It was a huge makeover.
Some of the other projects were planting wildflowers (the girls helped with that), painting a mural in the gym, freshening up the teachers' lounge, landscaping, creating a garden, organizing books and other materials, cleaning, etc. The stake also collected a whole bunch of donations that the school was in need of (gift cards for uniforms, school supplies, etc.). It was a good service project.
