PBIS Day of Play
On Friday, March 1, Hometown School participated in a school wide Day of Play. Students were encouraged to bring in their favorite games to share with the class. Students brought in favorites such as Uno, Don't Break the Ice, Candyland and Jenga. Volunteers came into the classrooms to facilitate the games. These moms, dads, grandmas, grandpas enjoyed an afternoon of playing. Their inner child was released as they fell down the chute in Chutes and Ladders or lost their marbles while playing Ker-plunk! A huge thank you to everyone who came in to spend the afternoon with our students
