Lunch Concerts – SFMS Cafeteria

*PARENTS…The ACTION Room is opening a BOARD GAME CAFE and is looking for
gently used, middle school student appropriate board games, card games,
etc.* If you have any on hand that your kids have outgrown, we’d welcome
your donation. The BOARD GAME CAFE will be “open” at least once a week,
with the day of the week shared in student announcements and posted on the
ACTION Room door. (… it will not necessarily always be the same day of
the week, depending on other activities) Students should pick up their
lunch at the start of the recess/lunch or lunch/recess period and will
spend the entire 30 minutes in the ACTION Room eating and playing games.

*WHAT’S POPPING IN THE ACTION ROOM? *

*BOARD GAME CAFE~ *Open to all! Come to the ACTION Room to enjoy your
lunch while playing the board game of your choice. We’ll still have Chess
and Scrabble available, but other game choices too. You are free to bring a
game of your own from home. Grab a friend, pick up your lunch at the start
of your recess/lunch period and come to the BOARD GAME CAFE in the ACTION
Room on *Tuesday, 12/6**.*
