Ms. Reich's Class at Evergreen

Third Graders in Ms. Reich's class adopted Grandparents at a nearby rest & rehabilitation facility. Back in October they received their orientation and met their grandparents: Each Friday, the students walk from Winans a few blocks to the home.
Sometimes the weather is beautiful and it's fun to be outside...

...and sometimes it is cold and windy and hard to make the trek!


The students do many different activities with ther grandparents.
They've had a treasure hunt, a show-and-tell day, a Halloween Party, and a Christmas cookie-decorating party, just to name a few.

Some grandparents are very good at communicating, some are very quiet or disoriented. The students learn to communicate with their grandparents and help them.

The grandparents enjoy their time with the students.

Time to go back to Winans til next Friday!

Thanks so much to Ms. Reich and the Evergreen staff for providing our students with this unique opportunity to serve and grow!
