a girl presents a project to an elderly woman

Our middle school students from all three middle schools presented biographical projects to seniors living at two area assisted living facilities.

The collaboration with StoryPoint Kalamazoo at Bronson Place and Friendship Village Kalamazoo was part of the sixth grade project-based-learning curriculum.

Earlier in the semester, the students interviewed the seniors about their lives before visiting again Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2025, to present their projects, which included posters and books and a yearbook that told the life stories of the residents.

What a great collaboration between our students and the community!
