It’s about answering when our neighbors call.

Today the @minnesotalynx & @PHEEsespieces surprised youth & @PlayworksMN with a new basketball hoop after finding out their old one was vandalized and damaged.

Through the Playworks Junior Coach Leadership Program, student leaders like Mia learn empathy, effective communication, and collaboration – fundamental skills for resolving conflicts and an inclusive school community every day. #GivingTuesday

This #GivingTuesday, will you help kids gain conflict resolution skills that benefit them on the playground, in the classroom, & beyond?
Junior Coach Mia uses leadership skills she's developed to help resolve conflicts, ensuring the students feel heard, understood, and are okay.

Auditor Blaha joined @MNSteveSimon, legislative staff, and students on the Capitol lawn for @PlayworksMN’s “Recess for Recess.”

[Steve Simon @MNSteveSimon]

Fun to join @julieblaha as a “referee” of some fierce four-square games in front of the Capitol, sponsored by ⁦@PlayworksMN⁩. They even gave us whistles!

If you can see her, then you can be her 🌟

On #NGWSD2023, we had the opportunity to host recess at Marcy Arts Magnet Elementary school with @PlayworksMN and @PHEEsespieces as part of the "Let's Get Active: @WNBA NGWSD Recess Celebration program!

[Playworks MN @PlayworksMN]

These are the moments of play that we cherish!

[Alec Ausmus @A_TwiceKSTP]

Lynx forward Napheesa Collier warned these kids that she wasn't going to let them win today.

She was a force in Knockout and played some bully-ball in the post. ;)

Time well spent with 4th & 5th graders at Marcy Ele.
