Students Present Inter-generational
Project to Elderwood Residents
Our
Mission:
Inspire.
Educate.
Learn.
Succeed.
Grow.
Since January, a group of eighth-grade students in Mary Ryan’s and Andrea Bishop’s English
classes visited residents at Elderwood to learn about their lives. According to Mrs. Ryan, the
residents looked forward to the students’ curiosity and energy during the visits, while the students
were amazed by the experiences and wisdom of the residents with whom they visited throughout
the inter-generational project. Students asked questions and took notes so they could write about
the experience.
At the end of the school year, the students presented a booklet of the biographical reflections to
the residents during a picnic.
