My Project

During the COVID-19 pandemic, a lot of our children were islolated and lonely. Many turned to cell phones and computer screens to try to connect with each other. Through the use of Breakout EDU, art supplies and books, students will set down the technology and turn to each other while learning and laughing.

It's time that we bring friends and fun back into school!

With these resources, we won't be seeing students texting at lunch while sitting next to each other. Instead, they will be playing board games, crafting art, and participating in exciting breakout games.
