“Students move more, smile more, laugh more”

Brian Schmaedick Principal, Goss ElementarySan Jose, California    

Before Playworks, students were likely to be wandering aimlessly on the playground or hanging out in groups without participating. This lack of purpose led to negative interactions and unhealthy ways of entertaining themselves and the negative attitudes often carried over to the classroom.

For me, it comes down to this: Students move more, smile more, laugh more, and return to their classrooms with a much more positive vibe than they did before. Thank you, Playworks!
