We are getting close to the end of the school year, and we need to give a shout out to our Junior Coaches! They are closing out the year with celebrations and parties after a great year of learning about leadership and being a role model. Shoutout to our LaFollette Elementary JCs

Making a splash to close out the school year strong! Coach Sammi made an improvised dunk tank and water games for kids at Curtin Leadership Academy. East Elementary Recess Manager, Mr. Isaakson, boarded the dunk tank train as well. What awesome incentives for kids!

We recently celebrated the work of our Wisconsin student leaders at the Junior Coach conference! These amazing kids spent the year leading games for younger students, being a role model on the playground, and creating an awesome environment for learning.

We're wrapping up Site Coordinator Appreciation Week with Coach Sammi!  Sammi is in just her second month as an SC and has been recognized multiple times by school staff for her amazing rapport building skills and Practice Recess facilitation techniques.  You're awesome Sammi!

Coach Taylor in the house! She's a firecracker of fun on the playground. You'll find her being followed by a bunch of kids to whatever game she's playing at recess. She is all about creating a memorable experience for students and adults. Way to go, Coach Taylor!!

Happy Wednesday!  We're recognizing Coach K today!  You're most likely to find him playing kickball, basketball, or tag during recess at his schools.  He's all about having fun and supporting his students!  Keep it rocking, Coach K!!

Welcome to Site Coordinator Appreciation Week!!  Today we'd like to recognize Coach Alyssa! She keeps the playgrounds rocking at our schools in Dodge, Jefferson, and Dane Counties. Alyssa is a mastermind when it comes to recess tournaments and keeping things fresh!Go Coach Alyssa

Coach Viv and her Junior Coaches at Hadfield Elementary were enjoying the beautiful weather! What a squad of JCs!

Recess in the Spring means getting outside and we couldn't be more excited!

Our newest addition to the team, Sammi, is already a recess rock star! Here she is practicing the banana cheer with a class at Curtin Elementary. Welcome to the team Sammi!

If you come to a Playworks recess, you’ll see that joy is everywhere. Regardless of a game’s outcome, our Coaches encourage positive language, model good sportsmanship, and give out high-fives. Celebrate High Five Day with us and Join our High Five Club! donate.playworks.org/campaign/wi-hi…
