HELP with Recess!

From Michelle Raiti:

Dear PACT members:

I am writing to you all regarding my concerns about the inadequate
amount of recess our 9 - 12 year old children are receiving at Baldwin
Middle School. Many of you may have younger children and may not be
aware of this issue yet - but If you, like many other parents, feel
that our kids need more ( a reasonable 20 minutes per day versus the 0
- 10 minutes per day they are currently getting), NOW is the time to
act.

Through the Guilford PTA, I have been working with the Board of Ed.
for over two years on this issue and have gotten nowhere. If this is
of concern to you, please read the letter below that I recently sent
the Board of Ed. I was told by one Board member that I need a large
show of concerned parents for this issue to be taken seriously. If
anyone out there feels similarly, please contact me as soon as
possible - if we can form a group of concerned parents - we may be
able to get recess for the kids at Baldwin. Remember - your kids will
be at Baldwin before you know it and by then it will be too late (it
was for us).

Thanks,
Michelle Raiti
