"Because of InterPlay, I can interact with 100 people a day.

I see, talk to, shape, hang, thrust, and swing with 82 students, 20 faculty, and several parents that wander in for counsel and advice.

InterPlay keeps me in the moment, to respond with grace, ease.

I am the queen of breathing deeply and substantially.

I can’t tell you how many deep breaths I have advised teachers or parents to take.

InterPlay has saved my life.
"
