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.”
