Citizens of a community have a responsibility to be active participants of that community. As citizens of the school community, students have a responsibility to be active participants of that community.   Our web site is about local citizens. We selected our class to be the local citizens of focus because of a Project Citizen program we began in the beginning of the school year. Since November we have been looking at the "No Recess" during the two colder quarters of the school year policy. Our class decided to research if "No Recess" during the colder months was a good policy. We learned a lot about how our brains worked, about who makes a policy, why a policy is made, and how to go about changing a policy that we do not agree with. When we completed our project we presented it to our Principal, Mr. Whitfield, and to the Superintendent of schools, Mr. Levesque. We will now present our project to the teachers at a staff meeting and hopefully we will have morning recess back all year long. This web site does not have a lot of pictures but it does have a lot of interesting information. Hopefully, our information and facts will help change the "No Recess" policy in our school community and impress you with our hard work.
