My Project

The games and prizes will help build community within the middle school. It encourages the students to participate in an activity that gets them more connected to themselves as a student and others. It is a "positivity table" that students can answer questions about themselves, others, relationships, bullying, etc. Students can see what they have in common with others and what others have in common with them. They will get a fidget or sticker for participating. There will be a large prize drawing at the end of the activity. This is a pilot at this point and if it goes well it will be implemented throughout the 24-25 school year!
