Special guests will include Hot 97’s Hip-Hop Gamer and DJ Sparkx along with other invited guests.
Gaming and Guidance normally takes place during a school assembly and uses the growing industry of video games to address various youth issues. The presentation allows students to gain self-worth, establish respect for others and build positive relationships amongst themselves and others.

The creative event will reinforce why social distancing is needed while giving youth an opportunity to to express their feelings and experiences during the global crisis.
