Brain Break, Part 2

Last Wednesday was our second Brain Break program, and 19 people stopped by. Actually, almost everyone stayed for the entire time! It was pretty much a repeat of last week, with Rock Band, fingerpainting, sand art, crazy Mr. Potato Heads, and board games out to pass the time and provide stress relief. This week, I baked brownies and iced some sugar cookies as our special comfort food. We also had chips and dip, M&Ms, cheese curls, hot chocolate, hot tea, and iced tea.
Although this event was aimed at Prendie and Bonner students who had exams this week, we ended up with a mixture of students from both public and private middle and high schools. Everyone seemed to have fun, even though one of our Rock Band guitars died. Fingerpainting was especially popular, with creations that ranged from ironic to masterful to just plain overenthusiastic. Thanks to TAB members Elena, Busra, Genni, Kaitlyn, and Christine for showing up and helping everyone feel welcome.

PHOTOS FROM THE CRAZY MR. POTATO HEAD CONTEST:

After her "Fail Potato" entry from last week, Laurel won this week with "Armed and Dangerous"!

This potato is so weird-looking, and yet somehow very appealing. I love the arm and moustache on the head.

A four-armed, pierced pizza princess!

This one looks like some kind of British lord with a penchant for women's jewelry.
