In a tradition dating back more than 15 years, students at James A. Dever Elementary School hosted their annual Juniors Meet Seniors Concert and Brunch, honoring the adult volunteers who participate in the school’s intergenerational reading program.
The youngsters greeted their guests with flowers and escorted them to the auditorium, where they enjoyed performances by the orchestra, senior chorus, concert band and jazz band.
After the concert, the PTA served a festive brunch, to thank their esteemed volunteers for taking the time each week to read with students, while building bonds of friendship across generations.
As a fitting ending to day’s festivities, many of the senior guests then headed to classrooms to participate in intergenerational reading activities with their favorite junior partners.
