My Project

We are in need of games for our students. We currently don't have many options for our students to play games which help to build resilience, teamwork and enhance social emotional skills.

Our goal is to create a games library to use with the whole school!

Right now, we have a field day coming up where we split the day between indoor and outdoor activities. One of the indoor rooms is a game room and we are lacking new and exciting games. We are hoping to get this project funded in time for field day. When field day is done, we will be using these games to support indoor recess when there is inclement weather as well as social emotional learning time to practice working together, handling disappointment, etc...
