É«ÖÐÉ«'s Herald House in Herald, CA, enjoyed hosting a fun and exciting team-building activity. The exercise aimed to emphasize the power of communication and how it plays an important role in success. It was a memorable day for all who were involved!

Tacia Burton, the program's administrator, led the to demonstrate different communication styles. The activity involved two teams, each building a tower out of dry spaghetti. The team with the tallest freestanding tower, with a marshmallow on top, won.

Each group completed the activity twice. During the first round, little to no instruction was provided, allowing the groups to observe how they would typically communicate with each other. Afterward, everyone reviewed and completed a survey to identify their communication style. Applying what they learned, the second round of the activity went much smoother!

We commend Herald House for working towards É«ÖÐÉ«'s mission of recovery through team-building exercises that encourage healthy communication.
