BOARD GAMES NEEDED!

Did you know that research has shown that summer learning loss equals about one month of instruction or more? Or that children's test scores tend to be lower in the fall than in the spring? (Cooper, 2003). 

We know it's hard to imagine summer right now, but ACTion is planning another family game night, location and time TBD. Last year, you helped us give 50 children activity kids to promote continued learning over the summer months. Each activity kit included a board game, a book and a craft activity. 

Please help us make this year's family game night even bigger and better by donating a new or gently used board game to be included in the activity kits for this year's event. 

1. Do you have gently worn board games or books? Drop them off at:

ACT for Alexandria, 1421 Prince St., Suite 220 from Monday-Friday between 9-5pm or call 703-739-7778. 

2. Want to donate a new board game? View the Amazon wish list.

3. Have a suggestion for an education board game to be included on the wish list? Tell us!
