Students Race Time to Break Out!
With only one hour to free themselves, students worked feverishly in their teams to Break Out of some very tough situations. Jacob, Ronan, Salma and Manuel found themselves on a runaway train with planted explosives on board. They were able to break out in a TCS record of 51 minutes and 53 seconds savings themselves and their fellow passengers. Hostages on an airplane, Aidan, Tyleiah, Jayla and Keith were able to free themselves at literally the last second! Breaking loose from their handcuffs and putting their minds together, they escaped sure disaster. We don't know what possessed students to go into the old mansion that had been abandoned decades ago, but Olivia, Le'Onnie, Faith and Joshua found themselves trapped inside once they entered. They raced the clock to escape and came close but didn't make it out in time. Claude, Destiny, Sara and Ethan were kidnapped and woke up blindfolded and handcuffed in a strange room. They had to get out before the kidnapper returned for them and with just seconds from freeing themselves, their time ran out! All of these scenarios took place at Break Out Games in Timonium thanks to writing teacher and mentor Don Riesett. This surprise field trip followed a writing seminar where the students were challenged to create a story where they found themselves trapped in the basement of the church across the street from the school. This writing and sharing prepared them for the simulated adventure that was to follow. A great time was had by all! Thank you...
