Get Our Mid-Day Recess Back!

The kindergarten program at St. Leonard has a new recess schedule: once at the beginning of each day (from 9:15-10:00) and once at the end of each day (3:05-3:35), which leaves the children indoors for five consecutive hours (from 10:00 a.m. to 3:05 p.m.)

John Curry, our School Trustee, informed us that the school will review the pilot program this month to decide whether to go back to having mid-day recess. If you feel five hours in the classroom is too long and that your child would benefit from a mid-day break for physical activity, I invite you to add your voice here.

Why is this important?
