Ee now while the mom Barbara Larimore says shots not enough n the school says they areol saysy following state law a whichhi requires at least 150 minutes oo physical activity a week and a time can be split between pe and or recess. Ecs. Now, larimore has created a change. Org petition pressing the countys School Board Members to extend recess to 30 minutes ates all Elementary Schools. I would say 95 agree that that we need to go back to whatw we were doing in the 60s and 70s and giving the kids recesss after lunch and giving themhe enough time to be kids. Im building a group of moms who are interested in supporting the cause and were going to beoinge talking about what were going i d do. Of course, this is alsoislso generating a lot of discussionoo on our facebook page. Pag i s it is amazing how much energyh e children have at those ages. A its good for the students teacher. Entseach kristin says i remember having h an hour for recess. Eces now its 15 minutes. You kidding me . I feel bad forr kids today. Ay. No wonder theyre getting moreem stressed out these days.

Sis. So far the change. Org petition t has earned more than 400 online signatures. Gnatures. Town hall meeting scheduled fort next month and larimore hopes hs the county will develop a panell to study practices at other schools.
