Hi John,
Physically active girls are not only able to develop stronger, healthier bodies, but also develop the confidence key to continuous learning and growth.
Did you know? In a controlled study, research showed that girls in Playworks schools spent more time in vigorous physical activity than girls in non-Playworks schools. Girls at Playworks schools are more likely to play tag and other playground games, according to Mathematica Policy Research.
An educator at one of our partner schools saw this firsthand. “It's been rewarding seeing diverse groups of students engaged in cooperative games. I've especially enjoyed seeing girls participate in games which they may have previously felt discomfort joining in.”
Together, let’s continue to create opportunities for girls
to learn and grow on the playground.
Play on,
Elizabeth Cushing
