We are a group of Canyon View parents who believe our children benefit from more time outdoors during the school day.
Research shows that regular outdoor breaks can improve children’s focus, behavior, reduces stress and anxiety. Studies have shown that lack of natural light disrupts circadian entrainment, delays sleep, and impairs mood and performance. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends recess spread throughout the school day as a protected part of every child’s education.
We are advocating for our district to approve of CVE community adding a third 15 minute recess for all grades. If you support this initiative please sign! We encourage all adult caregivers in support to sign!
The platform will increase the goal as we get signatures! 50 is not the limit or the end goal

When I found out how little recess time my second grader gets I was floored. Kids need to spend more time outdoors. Please let our children enjoy themselves on the playground
Four years experts have been saying that our generations kids are more stressed and anxious than they ever have been. Consistent outdoor unstructured play is one of the most well researched ways to help combat this that is within our power. I can’t imagine a better investment.
The additional recess time, in outdoor light and air, should be a good supplement.
I would love for more time outside to better help regulate and encourage our kids.
This would greatly benefit our kids' emotional well-being and school performance, and the research backs it up!
Studies back it up - kids need more outdoor time than ever!
I've always thought kids should be outside more.

We have the most beautiful green space for recess. The kids barely get teams organized for a game before they are sent back in. More time is a great idea.
