Petition for active recess

Many Montgomery County, MD., public schools keep elementary school children indoors when the temperature hits 32 degrees or snow is on the ground. Our children need to run around and be active.  The county has no official policy telling schools to provide children with ACTIVE recess time. It only "encourages" physical activity "for students, staff and community members before school, during the instructional day and after the instructional day."

Help convince the MCPS Board of Education to set a specific wellness policy requiring schools to give all county children 30 minutes of ACTIVE recess each day.
