Our mission is to bridge the gap between academics and the social, emotional and healthy well-being of children. The LiiNK Project aims to develop the whole child through increased recess and character development.

We are so excited about the upcoming year with all of our LiiNK districts! Below is an excerpt from Little Elm ISD's FB page and a link to the most recent Wall Street Journal article.
From Little Elm:
"We are proud to say that beginning 2017-2018, we will be a LiiNK Project district at all Little Elm ISD elementary campuses. We are the only district in Texas to provide four 15 minute recesses to students through a researched based program through Dr. Debbie Rhea with TCU. We are pleased with the results from 2016-2017 at Chavez, Hackberry, and Oak Point that all second graders will be phased into the project and students in K-1 at Prestwick, Lakeview, and Brent will be added. Thanks to the Wall Street Journal for emphasizing the importance of recess and showing how recess is a hot topic across the country!"
