Ridgewood Elementary School hasn't added a story.
Hello, we are Ryan Cutsforth, Jen McMillen, and Adam Resare, and we are educators at Ridgewood Elementary. We have started the Ridgewood Elementary Gaming Club to help students gain sportsmanship, healthy competition, respect, and integrity through playing their favorite games, learning new games, and developing their own games.
Students have signed up, and we have a few board games, card decks, and many students will bring their own trading cards to play games with (no trading is supported in the club) and we are in need of some more games and equipment so we can make it equitable for students of ALL backgrounds.
We are hoping to spend around $300 at local game stores to find popular games that are family friendly and can help students learn good sportsmanship and healthy competitive attitudes and skills.
Some of the games we're seeking are classic board games like Candy Land, Monopoly, Scrabble Jr., etc, as well as new favorites like Ticket to Ride Jr., Sushi Go, as well as various Pokemon and Magic: the Gathering trading cards (again, not for students to trade or keep, but to learn the game according to the rules)
We are asking for help in funding game equipment so we can build up kids' interpersonal skills by playing games, learning social/emotional skills, and developing a healthy perspective on competition. So far this club is garnering a LOT of student and parent attention, and we're needing to be able to meet the demand with enough resources to invite as many students as possible to join us.
Thank you immensely for your consideration and time!
-Ryan, Jen, and Adam
