Breaks are scientifically proven to aide in mental and physical health. Whether it is a small break from doing a task or a larger week-long break from school, breaks are essential as humans. It has been shown that Spring break can be highly beneficial to students’ and teachers’ mental health because this week of vacation allows for a much-needed mental decompression from demanding school-related stressors (homework, social encounters, deadlines, schedules, grades, etc.).

Avoid danger when you're at the playground by following the rules.
