“What memories from recess do you have?”
“There was a swingset, and every day everyone would race to the swings to see who would get there first and who actually got to swing and I always won because I was really fast.” -Jonathan Helms
“I had a friendship bracelet with Molly Claire, they had these little charm bracelets and I used to throw it up in the air. So I threw it up in the big tree because I wanted a guy to come get it down for me. So I was like ‘Can you get this down for me’ and he threw a rock at it and it didn’t work so that bracelet has been gone ever since.” -Reagan Cuddy
“ I think we were playing tag and someone threw mulch in my eyes and we were running up a slide so I just grabbed for something and it happened to be his pants and I went down and his pants came down with me. I think he had underwear on.” -Killian Laoo
“Playing football with my boys, my friends. We’d play kickball too.” – Ryan Fish
“I remember Mason Campbell trucking [a kid] playing football and broke his arm. We got football taken away.” – Jackson Norris
“One of the funniest things I used to do when I was little was I would bring little Debbie cakes outside to eat at recess, and I would feed little pieces of the cake to the ants. They were like my little friends.” – Ariel Harman
