Seaford Middle School students put their teamwork and building skills to the test on Dec. 19 as part of the school’s ongoing “teaming challenges.”
This time, students were tasked with constructing the tallest and sturdiest gingerbread-style tower using only graham crackers and frosting. It was the third of six collaborative challenges planned for the school year.
Previous activities included ice cream tasting and pumpkin painting, each designed to foster connection, creativity and communication among classmates. For each round, students are assigned to different teams to help them work with a wide range of peers.
The team-building initiative supports several key traits of the district’s Seaford Scholar program, including being a communicator, innovator, networker and resilient learner. Seaford Middle School Principal Raphael Morey said the goal of these challenges is to show students that building such skills can help them grow, not just academically, but in life.
Students continued developing their teamwork abilities by combining a festive, hands-on activity with real-world collaboration, one graham cracker at a time.
