School plans changes to recess

By Meagan Engle | Thursday, June 18, 2009, 10:49 AM

Middletown’s wellness committee is planning some changes to school recess in the coming years.

The goal for the 2010-11 school year is to hold recess before lunch so students are not rushing through their meal to get outside, the group told the school board Monday.

The goal for the 2011-12 school year is to no longer use recess as a reward or punishment.

The recommendation for the upcoming school year is to have only healthy snacks in the classroom and for incentives.

What do you think? Do you send a healthy snack instead of cupcakes or cookies for class parties?
