In this interview segment, a host (Speaker A) highlights the Eat, Learn, Play initiative’s transformation of a 21st Oakland school, noting recent enhancements such as a book giveaway, new playground and basketball court, murals, and gardens. Principal Roma Groves-Waters, who has led the school for nearly 17 years, describes how these improvements—driven in part by Stephen and Ayesha Curry’s involvement—have made the school environment more inviting, helped reduce chronic absenteeism, and lifted students’ spirits. The conversation underscores the tangible community impact of the Currys’ service efforts in Oakland.

The school is the 21st that Eat, Learn, Play has transformed here in Oakland. When we visited last week, there was a book giveaway, a new playground and basketball court were being built, new murals painted, and new gardens planted. Roma Groves-Waters has been principal here for nearly 17 years. Do you see a tangible difference that the Currys are making in Oakland?
Oh yes, the way they transform playgrounds, they make kids wanna come to school. So it helps with the chronic absenteeism, it helps with uplifting the kids' spirits as they're walking around. They can walk around with something nice for a change.
