Mission: More Board Games! Join Our Quest!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Epperson's classroom raised $720

My Project

I love how curious, creative, and enthusiastic my students are — they bring energy and imagination to everything they do! In our new Board Games elective, students will strengthen critical thinking, teamwork, communication, and strategy skills — all while having a blast.

Each board game we add to our classroom will open new opportunities for learning.

Strategy games will challenge their problem-solving skills. Cooperative games will build collaboration and communication. Dice games will encourage quick thinking and probability skills, while card games will sharpen memory, strategy, and adaptability. Every game we bring in will not just spark joy — it will help students grow as thinkers, teammates, and leaders!

Thank you for helping us make learning unforgettable (and really fun)!
