Ms. Ruffertshofer’s 7th Hour Academic & Wellness class is building important life skills in a fun and engaging way! Through an energetic game of charades, students are strengthening teamwork, collaboration, creativity, cooperation, and personal ownership.

To make it even more challenging, students created and acted out full scenes — not just single objects. It’s amazing to see communication, problem-solving, and leadership skills come to life in such a positive way!
