Day of play


ABOUT GLOBAL SCHOOL PLAY DAY!
Wednesday, February 4, 2015 is the launch of the first annual Global School Play Day for students in schools around the world, grades Pre-K to 6, and REACH will be participating.

“In his TEDx lecture, Peter Gray clearly argues the case that today’s kids do not grow up playing and this has negatively impacted them in many ways. It’s time we return the gift of play to this generation.” ~globalschoolplayday.com
