What is happening at McMillin – Week of July 20- August 3rd

McMillin’s Wonderful VAPA Team!!

What a great first week back. This week we have been learning Peaceful Playground. We believe that every child deserves a safe space to Play. A safe play environment enhances Learning, prevents bullying and school injuries, and promotes positive social interactions on the playground.

All children deserve the opportunity to be happy, healthy, Active, positive, and productive. Supporting healthy active students is key.

The mission of the Peaceful Playgrounds is to create a safe play environment, support healthy active kids, and advocate for recess and free play. We believe the benefits of free play are best accomplished by enhancing the play environment and allowing children lots of choices.

These 5 solutions make up the Peaceful Playgrounds Recess Program today:

  1. Conflict Resolution
  2. Rules
  3. Equipment
  4. Expectations
  5. Designs – We will need some parent volunteers to help us paint our playground during the Fall Break. We are waiting for the District to resurface it first.
