The 2015-2016 school year is Coach Amy’s first year with Playworks Indiana.\u00a0She started this school year as the Flex Coordinator, providing services to all Indiana Coach schools, and is now the primary Coach at Clarence Farrington Elementary School #61 in the Indianapolis Public School District.\u00a0 As an AmeriCorps member, Coach Amy is always ready to help and eager to serve her school community.\u00a0 Truly embracing Playworks’ core values: respect, inclusion, healthy play, and healthy community; Coach Amy is an invaluable asset to our team!<\/p>\n

What is your favorite recess game?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My favorite recess game is kickball! I also really love to hula hoop.<\/p>\n

What is your favorite Playworks component (recess, CGT, JCLP, leagues)?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My favorite Playworks component is Class Game Time (CGT), because I really enjoy getting to know the classes on a smaller, more personal level. \u00a0It is also a great opportunity to introduce more complex games that they can later take out to recess, which is great!<\/p>\n

What is your favorite sport to watch?\u00a0 What is your favorite sport to play?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love watching soccer and college football. My favorite sports to participate in are kayaking and downhill skiing.<\/p>\n

What do you like to do to relax\/have fun?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love movies! \u00a0In my spare time, I love watching old noir films or making my own short films.<\/p>\n

If you could have any superpower what would it be and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I was younger, I loved the book (and movie) Matilda <\/em>by Roald Dahl. \u00a0I was also a huge fan of Jean Grey of the X-Men comics. \u00a0This resulted in a strong desire\/hope that one day I would develop telekinesis and telepathy.<\/p>\n

What is the most rewarding part of being a Playworks Coach?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most rewarding part of being a Playworks Coach is definitely the daily positive interactions with the students. \u00a0I can see the difference I make at the school, but I can also see the positive impact the kids have on me. \u00a0We are all facing challenging things, and are growing in the process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
