Get Your Game On Tonight! Friday, March 11, 6-8pm

Looking forward to
tonight's Family Game Night, and hoping many of you will be able to join in the fun from 6-8pm at school!
There is a fun added component to this evening which makes it all the more meaningful.
Our 6th graders have chosen Game Night as one of their service learning projects this winter and spring.
At this event, the students' focus is on helping to plan and organize the event and providing leadership as Game Gurus.
Yesterday's indoor recess provided an opportunity for them to practice before the big night! Special shout out to Lauren Doukas and Ms. Lauren for guiding the students toward success!
