“The positive messages, role models and teaching make a big difference.”

Meg GreenePrincipal, Monte Vista Elementary, Santa Ana, CA

The role of coach and the Playworks program has a significant impact on student play and positive interactions. Our neighborhood community has a significant amount of gang violence and poverty. Students experience stress, anxiety and trauma. The positive messages, role models and teaching make a big difference to the school environment and social emotional health of the kids.
