Middle School Social Club is a biweekly get-together for students ages 12 - 14 who want a fun, low-pressure way to meet other middle schoolers, build friendships, and enjoy time together outside the classroom. Every other week, students will take part in supervised group games, icebreakers, team challenges, and other collaborative activities designed to get everyone talking, laughing, and participating. Past activities have included field-day games and sand volleyball (outdoors), "Honey, I Shrunk the Middle Schooler!" (jumbo games such as giant Twister, Jenga, UNO, and checkers), BINGO, making personal pita pizzas, watching "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown", and puzzle- and riddle-based group challenges. Activities will vary from meeting to meeting, with an emphasis on participation, teamwork, conversation, and simply having fun with peers.
