Ware currently allows 10 minutes of recess in grades 4-6. The average recess time at neighboring schools is 21.5 minutes, with the higher ranking schools providing 25 and 30 minute recess periods. Reducing recess time to improve test scores is not the answer and WILL backfire. Bring back a healthy school day schedule for our children - Sign this petition to appeal to Ware Middle School administration to make a change!
