The students excitement and joy opening the boxes of games brought the library to life. Students were talking over each other to show which game they were opening and wanting to play, asking others to play, or teaching others to play. The smile on my face and theirs light up the room. As the class was leaving the library, I could hear them still talking about the games in the hall telling others about them with excitement in their eyes and smiles that were spreading around the school. Watching the students interacting with each other brings a smile to my face and theirs, and will help with promoting healthier lifestyles.\r\n\r\nMy students love playing games, and now they will have so many to enjoy! The library is buzzing with students and staff playing these games. Unlikely duos, groups of students having conversations, building relationships, and learning to have fun without a screen in front of them. I enjoy the look on my students' faces when they are having fun and enjoying each others company and not being in front of technology. \r\n\r\nSo when I am able to introduce them to something new I love it. They are great kids who just need a break from the tech world and all the problems in their lives and just feel like a kid and have a safe place for them to be. \r\n\r\nNothing like unplugging from technology and playing a board game with friends, classmates, teachers, or even myself and have some laughter and fun!!!","fullyFundedDate":1755741016256,"projectUrl":"project/unplug-and-play-board-games-for-healt/9466496/","projectTitle":"\"Unplug and Play: Board Games for Healthier Minds\"","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Burnham","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7189051_orig.jpg?crop=1625,1626,x0,y493&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752112389784","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7189051"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_65473","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":239,"numTeachers":21,"percentFrplEligible":66,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":97,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"11.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":68.5,"schoolId":65473,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Buckfield Junior Senior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Buckfield Junior Senior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/maine/rsu-10/buckfield-junior-senior-high-school/65473"}
