Board Game Club
The following Thursdays at 4PM to 5PM
American Veterans Auditorium
Grades 3rd-12th
Tweens* and teens in grades 3rd - 12th can join us for Board Game Club in the American Veterans Auditorium. We will have several games available to play on different skill and grade levels. We will occasionally split the Teens to a different table from the Tweens if they want to play a game that is more appropriate for older ages *We consider Tweens to be somewhere between the ages of 8-12, but since we go by grade level, we have expanded the "tween ages" to grades 3rd-8th. Parents are welcome to stay and play a game with your child too! |
