Recently, high school students at Cedar Street took a break from classes and earned House Points while competing in Minute-to-Win-It style games! Based on the themes from Harry Potter: Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, and Hufflepuff, students belong to a House, and teachers and staff play as Slytherins. Students rotated between games and participated in as many as possible. Ravenclaws took the most points for the day, but Gryffindor still holds the most points for the year. The tallest stack of dice was 11, and the longest flight for gliders was over 7 meters! #minutetowinitgames #cupstacking #groupgames #challenginggames #games #buildtogetherpawpaw
