My Project

As we approach the colder months in the upper Midwest, I am looking to give my scholars indoor activities during recess time that don't involve being on their computers.

I would like to request funding to receive a variety of board games for our classrooms.

These games not only provide a fun and engaging alternative to screen time, but they also promote the development of essential soft skills such as taking turns, teamwork, and problem-solving. With the weather often keeping our students indoors, having these games available would greatly enhance their social interactions and overall well-being during recess.

Thank you for considering this request. I believe that with your support, we can create a more interactive and enjoyable environment for our students when outside play is not an option.
