First Grade Focus Area: The Elderly

Our first graders learn about issues faced by the elderly.  By visiting a local nursing home students learn to bridge generational gaps and appreciate the contributions older people have made.  St. Paul’s School partners with a local nursing home in a “Grandfriends” program.  Students visit the nursing home several times through the year to bring holiday cards and decorations, to sing to the residents, and to visit with and read to the residents.  For pictures please visit the Saints Serving Photo Gallery.
