Structuring and preparing Schoolwide events that brought the school together for fun and community outside of the specifics of the classroom was important for YSCA during the extended virtual semester. Quiz show was one way Adam brought students together and had them create an experience for the whole school to share and laugh with together.

This shared channel included everyone in the school and was a place where any member of our community could share a picture from their part of the world with us all.
