Cooking – sharing creativity and culture through food
Craft – expressing individuality and imagination
Board Games – building friendships through play
Robotics – exploring innovation and problem-solving
Crochet – learning patience, focus, and the art of making
These teacher-led activities provide students with opportunities to connect, collaborate, and develop skills that reach far beyond academics — fostering a true sense of community where everyone belongs.
