The research is compelling. More movement & more unstructured play leads to great academic success and social-emotional regulation.

Completely support! And it goes beyond movement (which is crucial.) Kids need unstructured time to just PLAY and use their imaginations. Many studies have shown how this time develops skills such as negotiation, leadership, teamwork etc. Movement and free play - yes please.

Fresh air and movement throughout the day is good for all of us, and a must have for children. Thank you.

As parent and school board member, I am in strong support of this conversation. I think we'll need to work with building leaders to structure the time and get specific about how it will work in the school day (beyond what is here) and excited about figuring that out

Thank you for doing this! I can't believe how little outside/unstructured time students get. Kids need to move! And everyone benefits from it! I hope we can get this done.
