Pikes Peak Prep “Connections” was about “Breaking the Ice”. I know it’s still summer, but for a new student starting this fall, baby its cold outside! New teenage students foster some enormous fears and anxiety around new school, new teachers, new friends, new schedule, etc. So to help break the ice we had 2 days scheduled with 2 -1 ½ sessions of team building exercises for our Jr. high and high school students both new and returning. What a concept! The returning students welcomed our new students with open arms and fresh ideas that only kids can take ownership to as Ms. Ramey and myself jumped right into physical challenges such as the hula hoop pass and managed to endure the “support” and “mental challenge” exercises with great enthusiasm. Extremely positive feedback came from parents and students as we ended each session with root-beer floats. Now that warmed things up!
