Because of your vocal support and sharing your personal experiences with recess for your children, this week the Rhode Island House of Representatives voted on May 10 to approve the Free Play Recess Bill. You can watch the discussion here starting at the 7:00 minute mark. http://ricaptv.discovervideo.com/embedviews/vod?s=1&c=HOUSE%20OF%20REPRESENTATIVES&w=640&h=480# What we need now: First, please continue to sign and share this petition, and add your comments with why you're signing. Personal stories are important for elected officials to hear. Second, the Senate Education Committee wants to hear from parents on this issue, so please write and call them and your own Senator and let them know your thoughts on the bill. Senate Education Committee Contact info is here: https://parentsacrossri.org/state-legislators/ Third, (and this one really matters!) Find out who your Senator is by visiting the Secretary of State's website: https://sos.ri.gov/vic/ and then call and write with your thoughts on the recess legislation. Thank you for all your support and congratulations on this big step in the right direction!
