This year students in Grade 6 are participating in Better Together, an exciting inter- generational visitation program with Daughters of Miriam in Clifton, NJ. We have received a generous grant from Legacy Heritage Fund to support this important opportunity for our students, and we hope that this program will be enjoyable and beneficial for both the students and the seniors.
Students had their first visit yesterday. They participated with their senior partners in completing the first month of their calendar art project related to the holidays as well as sang songs related to the chagim with the seniors. They were beyond impressive in their middot and active involvement, many of the Senior partners commented on this.
We look forward to a wonderful year of learning and enacting the mitzvah of hiddur p'nai zaken - honoring our elders.
