Welcome back to the Joy Series

  1. Updates

As we enter the last month of the year, we are thrilled to bring back the Joy Series. After a year full of transitions, growth, and exciting new changes for us, we’re looking forward to spending the next five weeks focused on joy. Here’s how you can follow along with the Joy Series:

 

 

 

 

1. Hear from five of our Coaches about how they experience joy at school by checking out our Instagram.

 

 

 

 

 

2. Reflect on the joy we’ve experienced in 2022, and look ahead to joy in 2023 by reading our blog.

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.  Read notes from students at a few of our Playworks partner schools on why recess brings them joy by following us on Twitter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Interact with us through our Instagram stories and discuss what brings you joy and how you can spread joy this holiday season.

 

 

 

 

We’re so excited to focus on joy through the end of this year and hope that you’ll follow along.
