Support Arizona youth: Require two daily recess periods in K-5 schools for happier, healthier, more successful children!
Why is this important?
We are seeking community support for SB1083. If signed into law, this would require all K-5 schools in AZ to allow children two 15 minute recess periods per day. Many schools provided this at some point, but have since removed most or all recess from their daily schedules.
Recess and unstructured play improve cognitive, physical, social, and emotional development; these are the foundations for "whole healthy children." Recess has been proven to significantly decrease anxiety, depression, attention deficit disorders, childhood obesity, diabetes and heart disease in youth.
Sign our petition and tell your senators, representatives, and Governor Ducey, the time to take action is now! Restore recess for Arizona's kids!
