Intergenerational Program

This program will introduce the students of Dr. F.J. McDonald Catholic School to senior citizens who reside in a nursing home. The program will help foster relationships and communication between the two generations. It will give our students a chance to interact and learn about the lives of a community of people with whom many of our students have never been in contact with.
