Global Play Day is a day dedicated to the importance of play in children’s learning and development. On this day, students engage in open-ended, screen-free play that encourages creativity, collaboration, problem-solving, and social connection.

Through play, students build critical skills such as communication, perseverance, and teamwork—skills that support both academic learning and overall well-being. Global Play Day provides an opportunity for students to learn in a joyful, meaningful way while strengthening relationships with peers.

The South Windsor Board of Education invites residents, or employees of a South Windsor business or organization to nominate someone who has volunteered their time for the betterment of the South Windsor community.

The Eugene Policelli Service Awards were established by the Board of Education to recognize and honor Dr. Eugene Policelli’s service to the town of South Windsor.

More about the award can be found here, as well as within this letter of designation from the South Windsor Board of Education's Chairwoman Coursey.
