Neighbors Club 2025

This year, the Club is for Grade 5 students. A new group of students has been visiting their senior friends at the care home across the street and doing projects with them like games and crafts. The grant they received helps purchase their games and craft kits. This year, they are adding to their games collection, and they are planning to add a collection of puzzles that residents and students can do together.

The students have been developing great relationships with their Neighbor friends and looking for their buddies when they visit. The club sees the student’s developing confidence and a sense of pride in themselves as they practice patience, communication skills, and kindness. Their hope is that kids who feel successful in being good friends to their Neighbors will also be good friends to their peers, on and offline. Currently, the club has 25 planter/flower gardening kits purchased to use in their next visit.
