Great information! Now how do we get funding into Title One Schools so
kids who don't have safe playrgrounds and parks in their communities
can be safe, play, and have fun in their childhoods, reaping all the
physical, mental, social, cognitive, and ACADEMIC benefits of a daily
recess and lots of fresh air, "nature", and Vitamin D from sunshine!
This has been an on-going problem for years. I wrote a letter to the
editor of The Sun addressing this issue over five years ago. Mike
Bowler wrote an article ten years ago. Hopkins creates shadows on
many of these schools and playgrounds. It is my hope that Hopkins
steps up and takes the lead in buidling playgrounds, staffing Recess
with volunteers, and even providing School Based Health Centers in
City Schools to meet the needs of Title One students and their
families.
