📚🔐 Escape Room Fun at BHS!
Ms. Siemientkowski and Mrs. Brady transformed the library into a thrilling escape room for Banned Books Week! After a lesson on why books are challenged and banned, students worked in teams to complete an escape room, using clues and navigating books in the library that are frequently banned and challenged across the US to get a prize! 🏆🕵️♀️
A big round of applause to the Raiders, who used teamwork to beat this challenge! 🌟
