Program bridges generation gap
A new program at the Gladstone Senior Center is building connections between elders and students from John Wetten Elementary School.

Every other Tuesday, a different group of students visits the senior center to share lunch, projects, and games with retirees.

Fifth graders from Ms. Gillies’ class were the first to visit, They spent time sharing recipes between the generations and worked together to create a cookbook. They also got to play a few rounds of Bingo.
