For YHS math teacher Angie Kroger, the game of cribbage has a special place in her heart. Cribbage reminds Mrs. Kroger of the good times she shared playing the game with her dad. Perhaps, those fond, early memories of fun and conversation while playing a game of numbers and counting is responsible for her love of math and learning.
What began as an informal conversation with some students about the game has blossomed into a popular new YHS club--Cribbage Club. Cribbage Club provides students a safe, social environment on campus over lunch that is also fun and educational. The game of cribbage, or crib, is a card game that involves grouping cards in combinations to gain points. Points are then tallied using a peg board.
Since the club meets over lunch, students normally bring a sack lunch, food to share or order pizza and they eat while they play. "It's easy to catch on to the game," said freshman Caleb Magner after his first visit to Cribbage Club. "It was fun. Besides that, we had pizza today. I'll definitely be back."
If you are interested in learning to play, just drop by Room 107 on a Wednesday over lunch. Everyone is welcome at Mrs. Kroger's Crib!
