I agree a service project based on photos of local historical sites may be the best fit, as a fun activity in itself, and as the students may be too young to jump into the midst of the regular Wikipedia editing community.
A possibly complementary option could also be a pursued with a Wikimedia sister project other than Wikipedia, such as Wikibooks, where for example this has been developed by elementary school kids and their parents:

I was just curious. What town (or neighborhood of Boston) are they from? There may be pictures needed around their town.

Hi,
We're doing service projects at school, and I would love to include Wikimedia in it. Any ideas?
