Saint Michael School kindergarten and third grade students visit the Gathering Place monthly to share projects and read.  The inter-generational program is led by teachers Betty Leno and Patti Cheslawski, as well as Gathering Place staff.  “The children have developed a bond with our Gathering Place buddies,” said Kindergarten teacher Betty Leno.  “I know it means a lot to the people using the Gathering Place program to see the children.  The program has helped our students to have a better understanding of the elderly.  It is another example of what our school is about, building friendships that cross all age groups.”   Mrs. Pittman photo
