My Project

Every day, our school has a built-in Period called Activity Period. This time is student-centered and students get to choose which activity they want to participate in. We do not have funds set aside for these activities, so often, teachers offer movies or other free activity options, leaving students bored or unmotivated.

Help me purchase various games for a Game Activity for the 2024-2025 school year!

Students in our school do not have their cellphones throughout the day, so these games will also help build collaboration, teamwork, and community in and outside of the classroom.

Grades 9-12
