My Project

SHCS recently adopted advisories into our weekly schedule. This is a time where students can connect with each other and an adult in a non academic setting. Advisories support students social/emotional health and overall mental well being. These board games will encourage students to think critically, solve puzzles, work collaboratively and just generally have fun with each other without technology getting in their way. In our post pandemic world it is so important for our students to continue to practice their interpersonal skills in a variety of ways and these board games will allow them to do just that while having fun!
