We were doing a great job with the academics but&#8230;I was seeing 4-6 students per day in the office because of playground conflict and poor decisions. That adds up to many kids missing instruction and at times being suspended.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Since the FIRST day Playworks arrived on our campus, referrals to the office and suspensions have nearly disappeared! &#8230;Our district leadership took notice of the results and we have adopted Playworks as part of our district-wide program. Our time on learning has climbed and our referrals have plummeted all across our district.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While the Top-Rated Awards run through the end of October, Playworks was part of the inaugural group to qualify for the year. In addition, Playworks has been added to GreatNonprofits&rsquo; #GivingTuesday Guide, an interactive guide to top nonprofits throughout the year. Look for this near the holidays.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&ldquo;Savvy donors want to see the impact of their donations more than ever,&rdquo; said Perla Ni, CEO of GreatNonprofits, &ldquo;People with direct experience with Playworks have voted that the organization is making a real difference.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Thank you to everyone whose support made this recognition possible.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"http:\/\/greatnonprofits.org\/org\/playworks-1\">Read our reviews and add your story!<\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/donate.playworks.org\/checkout\/donation?eid=46209&amp;utm_source=National&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=8x&amp;utm_campaign=EOYA%202015\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-file_info=\"%7B%22fid%22:%229213%22,%22view_mode%22:%22media_original%22,%22type%22:%22media%22%7D\" height=\"65\" src=\"https:\/\/www.playworks.org\/sites\/default\/files\/Donate%20Today2.jpg\" style=\"width:275px;height:65px;\" title=\"\" width=\"275\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Playworks is proud to be a recipient of the 2015 Top-Rated Award by GreatNonprofits, the leading provider of user reviews about nonprofit organizations. &ldquo;We are excited to be named [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":189,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"region":[],"class_list":["post-187","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-updates"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
