Legacy Park Elementary School’s Neighbor’s Club
“The seniors at the Care Home find great pleasure in seeing our students and many students ask for a resident by name after they get to know them and have made that connection with them. It’s wonderful to see the smiles on residents faces and to see our students be gentle and supportive as the residents are learning a game or trying a craft and need help,” stated Tanice Abramson, the adult leader of the Neighbors Club.
