Lunches at Trafford Middle School (Penn-Trafford School District) are ‘device-free,’ and the school recently purchased a variety of board games for students to use during lunch in hopes of keeping students engaged without the use of electronics.
“The games have been a hit!” commented head teacher, Mrs. Stacy Lamanna. “Not only are students learning the art of conversation, teamwork, decision making and problem solving skills, they are also laughing and having fun with their friends.”
