My Project

Our library is a hub where students like to congregate, relax, de-stress and catch up. Often times, however, we see students immersed in their cell phones which precludes them from making genuine connections with their peers. We would like to create a game-corner where students can use board games to interact with each other in positive, tech-free ways. We want to help bring back the simple joys of laughing and having fun over classic games, rather than the pull of social media and technology. Please help us create a hub of classic entertainment for kids who need it most.

Ms. Valit High School of Economics & Finance Grades 9-12
