Mrs. Bahar's second grade class at Mt. Vernon Elementary School wanted
to let senior citizens know that they are valued and deserve to be honored for
their experience and wisdom. The students became pen pals with residents of the
Chesapeake Retirement Center. The
children exchanged letters and cards throughout the year. Through their
writing, they formed strong relationships. On June 3, students visited the
residents of the Chesapeake Retirement Center. The bond between the children
and the seniors was instantaneous! They
were treated to refreshments as they talked together, and were given a tour of
the facility.
