My Project

Games, puzzles, and balls for cooperative team building will provide enrichment for 500 students in 23 advisory groups. After a week of working hard on academic assignments, students get to de-stress off-screen in a family-like setting. Whether playing a board game, solving a puzzle, or engaging in a teacher-led cooperative game, students will benefit from your support by enjoying interesting enrichment materials during much-needed choice time. Advisory groups include students in grades 6-12 who enjoy all-age games like Bananagrams and Don't Break the Ice! Taking time to relax in a structured, social, off-screen setting benefits students' mental health and teaches essential social emotional skills like taking turns, listening to others, and making time for self-care.
