University of Phoenix financial advisers traded in their briefcases for sneakers and hit the playground at William T. Machan Elementary for a day of Playworks Corporate Recess. The event included a basic training and then a visit to the elementary school to help out at recess.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the most valuable things I got from this was how eager the children were to congratulate one another and how the children had learned to settle disagreements easily and effectively,\u201d said Jovan La Spisa.<\/p>\n
In addition to this, Jovan says she was impressed by how easily a child\u2019s spirits could be lifted by a little encouragement. \u201cI was really touched by how happy these kids were spending a little time with us,\u201d Jovan said.<\/p>\n
From 4-Square to Sprout-Ball, the volunteers were found circling around the playground, eager to get a dose of every game.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Playworks coach did a great job of organizing and running the activities,\u201d said Ryan Quevedo. \u201cYou could really see how much they cared about the kids.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ryan\u2019s highlights include the opportunity to interact with the kids, seeing the smiles on the kid\u2019s faces and just having the opportunity to give a couple hours of his time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
