Children learn better when they've played and exercised. Studies prove it!

children have excessive energy they need to burn. having recess helps them to do learning and schoolwork better.

For the younger generations break for imagination and to run wild for just a little while longer. Ware schools have the best teachers!! What's 20 more minutes gonna hurt? Thanks for reading

I've been saying this for YEARS! WMS's recess policy is SO far out of line with current research; in fact schild around the country are ADDING recess time and finding better overall student achievement! Thank you to whoever put this together--and I'd love to know what the next step is for making this happen!

Children need this time to expel energy. Will improve concentration ultimately.

Don't the decision-makers have to get their wiggles out during the day? I know I do!

Physical activity and time to socialize is extremely important to the development of pre-teen children, and needs to be valued by our schools!
