Over the past winter and spring, Mme Goodspeed’s Grade 5 class at Keppel-Sarawak Elementary School wrote letters and visited residents at Kelso Pines Retirement Lodge in Owen Sound.
Students learned about their new friends’ life experiences, played games, and shared interesting toys, photos, and artifacts that they brought in. During their last visit, students put on a mini talent show for the residents.
Many students and residents hope to maintain their new friendships over the summer and beyond.
