Continuing in its commitment to improve the health and fitness of Georgia’s young people, Georgia SHAPE today announces a new long-term partnership with Playworks, a national nonprofit organization creating a place free of bullying for every kid on the playground.
Playworks, with its innovative anti-bullying curriculum, literally changes recess through game play and will provide staff support and training to deliver its innovative recess model to more than 35,000 students at elementary schools across the state. The partnership is made possible by funding from the Atlanta Falcons Youth Foundation, which is providing $750,000 in matching grant funding to help create a safer, more active and inclusive place for children on Georgia’s elementary school playgrounds.
