Tibbott a Finalist in Publisher Competition, Could Win $500 in Games

There's little doubt that kids learn better when they can participate in fun, educational games in the classroom.

Students at Tibbott Elementary are hoping your vote could land them $500 worth of free games thanks in part to a competition held by Out of the Box Publishing. 

Tibbott is one of just 40 finalist schools from around the country vying for the top prize—$500 worth of games from Out of the Box.

Out of the Box Publishing, according to its website, creates innovative party, card and board games that provide engaging ways to enjoy time with friends and family. Specifically, the games can be learned in minutes; are colorfully illustrated and fun to play; can easily be played in less than an hour; are efficiently designed in smart packaging; and feature dynamic player interaction from start to finish.

As of Tuesday, Tibbott had the second most votes, trailing the leader by more than 5,000 votes.

According to contest rules, each person can vote once per day per computer.

Robert Myers, a parent of a former Tibbott student, said the games could be a huge boost considering recent cuts the school district has had to make.

"A majority of the students that attend the school don't even have books in their homes," Myers said in his Twitter feed. 

Voting for the competition ends Dec. 1.
