If I were to be asked the biggest positive change in our school this year, I would respond by saying Playworks. Students who were formerly causing trouble have turned into leaders. The faculty has been able to concentrate more on the curriculum rather than fixing the issues. The classrooms have become more peaceful and a safer learning environment. - Sally Sansom Principal, East Midvale Elementary
