Ask many students what the favorite part of their school day is and you are likely to hear "recess!!!!" as the answer. We are fortunate here at Harrison to have a large outdoor space, with a field, hill, basketball court, and a large playground.
This year, besides the typical yearly purchase of sleds, for everyone's favorite winter pastime, the school has also purchased a collection of outdoor yard games. Students not only are getting to play some great new games, but they are practicing and increasing their skills in the areas of: communication, teamwork, and responsibility (we all need to clean up after!). It has been wonderful seeing students work together and having fun!
