Since choosing to complete the Ramp Up for Recess Play at the beginning of the year, Western Hills' FUTP 60 students have found their own fun and easy ways to improve recess. Students in 3rd-5th grade now participate in intramural basketball and flag football leagues during recess. They also have access to a walk-jog program 3 times a week. Recess has become much more active for students!

How did you accomplish your goals?

Students voted to take action on a few ideas. They made a plan and have stuck to it. This has allowed them to be successful so far in improving our recess at Western Hills.
