676 celebrates getting together by Nathan Weiser

PS 676 had after school Family Game Night starting at 3 p.m. on a beautiful afternoon in their school yard.
This was the first one that they school organized since before the pandemic. Many parents of the elementary school kids attended the activity filled event.
Many parents were also at the harbor science fair earlier in the afternoon. At the science fair, each class prepared a project as a team.
To start the event, there was Connect Four, Checkers, Uno, Candy Land, Jenga and Make 7 for the kids and parents to enjoy at the tables.
There was a lot of pizza available from Mark’s Pizzeria, which is close by on Van Brunt Street, as well as water and Capri Sun for the kids.
After the pizza, the activities continued. There was a group of about 10 kids who enthusiastically played a game of musical chairs and then 10 more kids who did not play the first time got to enjoy musical chairs. After each musical chairs game, the winner got a prize.
Pastor Pacheco from Redemption Church played the music during the musical chairs and was the DJ for the event.
After the musical chairs in the school yard was finished, there was a raffle for the kids who were interested. Three names were chosen and the prizes that the kids received consisted of a family Uno game, Twister and a Star Wars game.
The conditions were ideal for the kids to enjoy the games outside.
