I will be running 2 MORE Dungeons & Dragons groups Virtually using Roll 20:
Dungeons Dragons is hands down one of the best ways to learn social skills.
Students will learn to cooperate, problem solve, listen and work as a team.

Saturdays: We will be exploring the Lost mines of Phandelver mixed with elements from the Dragon of Icepire peak.
Wednesdays: Lost mines of Phandelver or a new campaign Waterdeep: Dragon Heist or Baldur’s Gate: Descent into Avernus
Who is D&D best suited for and what skills do I come to the table with:
