    Metuchen Board of Education - "Moss Fit & Fun Playscapes"Moss School, A learning pathway featuring stencils of activities (hopping, balancing, ABC, hopscotch, animals/nature etc.) was painted on paths at Moss School.

These stencils will be used by all students at Moss School throughout the school year, the summer programs, and also by community members who use Moss School playground. They were mounted on the wall and connected to a laptop, to allow for interactive audio-visual experience to facilitate fan participation.
