At a high school in Maine, #kids can go on a hike, instead of detention.

Students struggled to sit still in the classroom,

Joni Mitchell's song "California" is 54 years old this year. Released in 1971, its lyrics are as relevant today as then.

Through play children practice problem solving, cooperation and resilience.

Creative play, not screen time.

Play is not extra, it is essential.

Did you know?

Inspired by bank robbers who believed lemon juice made them invisible, psychologists discovered the Dunning-Kruger effect.
