Breakout of a Book Night’s 2nd year was a fantastic evening. I’d like to thank Tracy Kent for co-hosting, Rachel Turetsky for promoting the contest on social media, the PTO for providing the prizes, and student volunteers Alyah Varela, Madison Rontey, and Ben Maxon for lending their voices to the character introductions. Without their help the competition would not be possible.
This year’s participation rose from 60 students to 70. I never fail to be impressed by BES students and their families, who after a long week of school and work turned up an event that pushes their minds to the max. Their energy and enthusiasm is what makes Breakout of a Book Night such a fantastic event.
The evening was not without its kerfuffles. There were some technical difficulties and the 4/5 breakout may have had a few too many puzzles. The Game Master relays her apologies! Still, thanks largely to the perseverance of BES students and their adult helpers, it was still a wonderful night! I am greatly looking forward to using the experiences of this year to make next year’s competition even better!
