The center, introduced as part of the K-2 Guidance Program this school year, was conceptualized due to the students’ interest in and positive response to the Board Games Club. Teacher Grace Espinosa, along with five other student teachers, manages the facility.

There are several kinds of board games available, some of which were bought with the funds of the Board Games Club. Fifteen students from the morning classes and another fifteen from the afternoon can borrow a board game to use within the center’s premises each day. Students must first present their slot card, similar to a library card, before borrowing play materials.

The Board Games Center can be visited on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11AM to 1 PM. //by Trisa de Ocampo and Alex Yangco
