Elaborate games and activities flow from the minds of young creators who have only their interests, the environment, and creativity to spur them on to genius! Collaboration, energy, and pure joy erupt. It is magical. One of the reasons I love recess duty is that I can watch imaginary play in Discovery Playground.

One of my greatest passions from childhood through high school was drawing.
