He understands what he does is tough work but Jovany is up for any challenge any day, and is always willing to try new things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We are thrilled to have Jovany on our Playworks team at Chittick Elementary.

You\u2019re here to help other children be successful. Like, if someone was a third grader and I showed them how to be a nice person and respect others then they might become a Junior Coach too.\u201d<\/p>\n<h6>What is a piece of advice you would give to other Junior Coaches across New England who want to be successful?<\/h6>\n<p>\u201cThe advice I would give is that the more you respect each other and other people, even if it\u2019s not your friend, the more you\u2019ll get rewards and other things like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<h6>What is your favorite game to play at recess?<\/h6>\n<p>\u201cMy favorite thing to play is kickball, basketball, and football.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During recess, you\u2019re likely to find Jovany leading games and acting as a role model for both younger students and his peers.
