Today was a special day for Laguna Blanca Lower School students as we celebrated the re-opening of our main playground area.  Due to the County of Santa Barbara relaxing some restrictions for this type of group play, our campus was allowed to open the popular play structure commonly referred to as the Big Toy!

Class cohorts still rotate among several outdoor play areas during recess times, but now group play on the Big Toy will be an added rotation. I got a bit teary-eyed watching our inclusive second graders run, slide, swing, climb, and laugh to their hearts’ content and enjoy a group game that they had created way back in kindergarten. What a joy!
