Peaceful Playgrounds : What's Cool at School News Video

Principal Pam Winfield credits a dedicated group of volunteers for transforming ordinary blacktop into an endless supply of games that can attract an entire classroom to share an activity.

Peaceful Playground is a concept developed by a former physical education teacher who wanted to create a safer and more inclusive play area for children.
