Midvale Elementary Family Game Night

Our community is important to us as students. Being students at Midvale Middle, and being part of a MYP school, has taught us to always give back to our community,  Us students decided to give service back even if it was a little. We helped with the Midvale Elementary Family Game Night and wanted to share our experience.

Family Game Night was interesting to us because we've done different types of service, but nothing really like this. Many of us had to work doing different types of subject games.We also had to interact with families we have never seen before, which really tested some of our top BRICCCKs, especially being caring, communicators, reflective, and open minded. The games were educational and our goal was to teach something new. We also wanted to make sure they knew learning can be fun!

We showed up at Midvale Elementary and got divided into different sets of groups. Some of us had to do mostly math and reading, but we also had the chance to do active activities and also computer games. We went to our stations and the fun began when the kids arrived. Even though the game night only lasted 2 hours the experience lasted even longer.

Our goal was to teach something valuable, that the elementary students could possibly take with them.  We also learned something valuable as well . Helping and serving is a good way to give back to our community. We enjoyed the experience and giving back. Thank you Midvale Elementary for the thank you letters and for letting us help and try something new!
