Join students for a time of games
Organize a fun, after-school event in honor of your teachers. Invite them to join students, parents, and administrators for a time of games and refreshments together.
Hi,
For a start, why is it "for" instead of "in" in the above? The common usage of "join" is that " ... join + people + in + games/activities."
Secondly, is "refreshments" in the above equal to "desserts?" If not, what are their differences? Thanks.
