This year, Lincoln-Eliot will be offering facilitated inclusive play during recess, and we are looking for interested volunteers to be facilitators of play at the three lunch recesses.  This is inclusive modeling with emphasis on providing a space in the playground where all kids can spend time together interacting with or playing alongside peers.

Adults are there to guide and encourage but not necessarily do the playing — although you can and it’s fun!  We use simple supplies like hula hoops, tennis balls, and chalk which are all donated and supplied.

Volunteers can be anyone with an active CORI on file with the office.  “On the job training” provided!  You can volunteer for 20 minutes or 2 hours, once a day or once a month; whatever schedule works for you.  Currently the three recesses happen between 12:15 and 2:20pm (weather permitting).  Our future goal is to have indoor facilitated recess but currently we are outside only.

Please email secretary@lepto.org if you’re interested in volunteering, or reach out to Margaret and PJ Smith for more details!
