— Editor’s note: Pharos-Tribune lifestyle writer Melissa Soria poses a question to a group of youngsters each week to get their take on a topic. We hope you enjoy their responses as much as we do. We polled children in Peggy Scott’s first-grade class at Landis Elementary School in Logansport and asked the following question:

Recess because you get to run around everywhere and you can yell and play.
