Center Elementary School was awarded a major grant for “Peaceful Playgrounds”, an interactive addition to the blacktop area of the playground working on collaborative play, conflict resolution, and educational play opportunities. Championed by music teacher Lynn Orzolek, this program allows children to play cooperatively in an outside unstructured environment, fostering interpersonal dynamics and bringing a sense of shared experience to all those that play.
