The Circle recently completed its first Playing With Purpose class at the Hudde School in Midwood, Brooklyn, and all our students were winners.

But two stood out.

After 10 classes, it was clear that two exceptional young people rose above. Yousef and Kelani won a Legion V Pro gaming laptop and a Nintendo Switch respectively. Thanks to Lenovo and Nintendo for donating this awesome technology.

The Circle will also donate whatever game the two students choose to play.

We begin out next class at Hudde in a couple of weeks with Sherri L. Smith, Ronald Gordon and Harold Goldberg as mentors.

We’re super excited about teaching a new group of awesome new middle schoolers how to write well, work in teams, and create reviews – and game narrative!
