Minute to Win It

Today some of our FBLA officers hosted a fun Minute to Win it game room on Friendship Friday for our Program of Work. We hoped to bring together strangers and maybe bloom new friendships. We started by breaking the room up into groups of 4-6. The first game we played was macaroni chopsticks, you had to go to a cup full of macaroni and pick up a macaroni noodle with chopsticks and bring the macaroni back to your group.

Thanks to Lizzie A, Tori W, and Avah Y for making this happen.
