Fun and Games After School

Help me give my students some STEM challenges, building activities, and games for our after school program. We also need yummy snacks to keep our tummies fed and our brains ready to learn and play with friends!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Yusko's classroom raised $1,000

My Project

COVID-19 impacted our students' social interactions. To prepare them for middle school and beyond, we have started an afterschool club to help students work on social skills and make new friends in a smaller group setting.

These resources will allow us to continue our afterschool Game/STEM/Art club during summer school and next year.

The games and storage supplies increases our collection of activities and allow us to provide new games in the activity rotation. The LEGOS/STEM resources help students learn to work and play together. The snacks provide energy so that we can have fun and keep our bodies working.

All of these allow students to practice social skills: talking, taking turns, thinking outside the box, and making new friends... all in a safe and engaging after school location.

Thank you so much for supporting our students!
