The benefits of recess extend beyond physical health. Studies have found that recess benefits students by improving their memory and attention, helping them stay on topic in class, reducing their disruptive behavior, and improving their social development, according to the CDC. Belwood loves our students and love watching our students thrive TOGETHER at recess!
