Each year, our beloved science teacher, Ms. Svedlund, led a special holiday project for our second-grade students. She compiled a list of residents from the Casa Dorinda retirement community and each resident also included a little blurb about themselves, such as “likes movies,” “plays bocce ball,” and “enjoys gardening.” This way, our second graders could include personalized messages that were specific to each resident. The students took so much time and care with their cards and were very proud of their efforts. We were later told that when the cards were distributed at a Casa Dorinda holiday party, joy and cheer lit up the faces of our new friends!
