We need a big playground so we don’t need playground badges anymore.
Students can choose to go to drama, library, technology, PE or makerspace during recess (schedule needs to change, students/adults need to keep track of time)
Can we make our recess longer so we have more time to do more things?
Can we have longer recess?
Can all grades go to recess at the playground
Can we have more grass at the park?
