Do you like board games? Do you like to crush your opponents? Do you like helping out a good cause?
We'll be holding a Ford School Board Game Tournament on Friday, February 18th at 4pm in the Betty Ford Classroom to fundraise for our IEDP trip to Grenada. We'll be playing Bananagrams tournament-style, but will have a few other board games (Scrabble, Settlers of Catan, etc) on hand for those who just want to come and hang out.
For those of you who haven't played Bananagrams before, it's a hyper version of Scrabble--you compete with other people to see who can arrange words from tiles the quickest. There are more details here (http://www.bananagrams-intl.com/instructions.asp). It's takes no more than a few minutes to learn and is incredibly fun!
The winner will receive a gift certificate--I'll email out details on the gift certificate soon.
We're asking for a minimum of a $5 donation to enter (and if you want to give more, that'd be fantastic).
The tournament is open to everyone--students, staff, faculty, friends, significant others, precocious children, etc--so pass the word along!
If you're interested, please sign up here: http://bit.ly/gdpJCP
Thanks!
