The Importance Of Recess For Elementary Schools
Orange County says recess for all elementary schools
Starting next fall all elementary schools in the Orange County school district will likely provide recess, unlike this last year when children at 23 of the county’s schools did not enjoy this free-play break.

Amy Narvaez, whose child attended kindergarten at Camelot Elementary, was a participant in the petition drive that began last fall to return recesses to Orange County elementary school students. Narvaez is pleased
