With this funding, a Nintendo Switch gaming console was purchased to create a unique and inclusive opportunity for social and emotional learning. The console was used to host a bowling tournament that brought together general education and special education students, fostering connection and collaboration. The tournament culminated in a field trip to a local bowling alley, providing an exciting real-world extension of the activity.
This grant emphasized diversity, inclusion, and social-emotional development. Students learned to support one another, handle disappointment with grace, and celebrate the successes of their peers. By creating a space for meaningful interactions and shared experiences, the project fostered empathy, teamwork, and a stronger sense of community among students.
