Recess Volunteers Needed
Want to help promote positive social (or we can say prosocial) engagement at recess at Fallsmead? We need volunteers for our recess monitor volunteer program, which will be rebooted starting this October. Recess is a very important part of the school day, when students engage in exercise and play-based social interaction. As a recess monitor, you can help to make recess at Fallsmead a fun, safe experience for students. Please contact Marybeth Henry Gill for more information at recess@fallsmeadpta.org.
