The residents of the Atria Assisted Living Home in Lynbrook joined Mrs. Robbins-Jean’s first grade class for the first of many monthly visits to read with the students. Mrs. Robbins-Jean reached out to the Recreational Director, Nathan Schafroth, to inquire if the residents would be interested in participating in a program such as this. This is a project that is near and dear to Mrs. Robbins-Jean’s heart, and it was important to her to pursue it.
The super seniors and the fabulous first graders had an extremely rewarding time, as they shared good literature, family stories, and lots of laughs! Both the students and their newly acquired senior friends look forward to continuing to build their relationship, as they foster their mutual love of learning and reading.
