Reach Across: Stacking Cards & Building Connections

Peck’s latest Reach Across event proved once again that some of the best connections are built through simple, shared moments. Bringing together Upper and Lower School students, Reach Across activities (held three times per year) focus on teamwork, creativity, and—of course—a little friendly competition.

This time, as students resumed their cross-grade buddy groups (pairing younger and older students), they were challenged to build towers using nothing but playing cards. What started as a delicate balancing act quickly turned into a morning filled with laughter, problem-solving, and collaboration.

The results? A mix of impressive structures, a few collapses (followed by lots of laughs), and plenty of new friendships formed along the way.

Reach Across continues to do what it does best—creating opportunities for students to connect, collaborate, and learn from one another, one card tower at a time.
