Your gift of a take-home board game for each student has been a bright spot in a dark time. Students were able to choose between four different board games to take home to play with their family. They were very excited to do this just following the Winter break. \r\nStudents reported that they really enjoyed the time playing the game with their parents and siblings. For some students it is the first board game that they personally own. The games that they had to choose from encourage time together, interaction, and math and language skills and included: Candyland, Bananagrams, Battleship, and Scrabble Junior. All of these games are a nice break from the video games that students usually play. \r\nParents reported that they have been able to play and interact with their children which has been a refreshing break from the stress endured by so many of our families.
