Morris School celebrated Global School Play Day on Friday!
Global School Play Day is observed annually each February. This holiday was created to promote the importance of unstructured, regular play for children. It was initiated in 2015, following the realization that playtime for children was decreasing both at home and in school, which correlated to negative impacts on children’s development.
