Instead of unstructured play, students are organizing games, creating fair teams, rotating positions, and encouraging one another to participate.

Many students who typically struggle to find an activity during recess now feel more included and confident because they have a fun, organized option to participate in. It has been especially rewarding to see students who are usually quiet in class take on leadership roles on the court, communicating with teammates and showing strong sportsmanship.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, we are continuing to reinforce expectations around respectful play, cooperation, and conflict resolution during recess games. These experiences are helping students practice real-life leadership and community-building skills in an authentic setting.
