How can a teacher carve out a deeper sense of community in an inexpensive way? Across the nation, many schools have managed to craft creative and inexpensive community-building projects. Perhaps the three projects featured here will spark some new ideas for your own school: (1) The Hunger Games Come to Texas; (2) Tough Mudders in Macungie; and (3) Stepping to the Mic in Dedham. These three projects are just the tip of the iceberg. There are many inexpensive ways to build community. Just remember to put the necessary elements of creativity and structure in place to effectively build positive relationships.
