Experienced in outdoor play and rooted in a love of nature she has been able to instill these passions in her students. Her ability to be flexible and go with the flow has been welcomed as she has transitioned between a few roles throughout her first year as a coach. Now fully settled in her school, she hopes to transform play and recess throughout the last few months of the school year.

He has been working at Jefferson Elementary and taking on the challenge of engaging middle schoolers in play. He came to Playworks with a desire to build relationships with his students and to support students to solve any challenges that may come up. His willingness to take time out of his day to make sure students feel as though they have been heard is something that has made a large impact at Jefferson Community School. Continue to let your care and consideration show, Coach Dana!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" class=\"size-full wp-image-699 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.playworks.org\/minnesota\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/03\/CoachShae_200x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.playworks.org\/minnesota\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/03\/CoachShae_200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.playworks.org\/minnesota\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/03\/CoachShae_200x200-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>Coach Shaena<\/h3>\n<p>Coach Shae is a second-year AmeriCorps member who has gone from one of the smallest Playworks schools to one of the biggest over her two years.
