A Plus: Berea Midpark 5A 5th Graders

Berea Midpark Middle School
Berea Midpark Middle School

Our A Plus this week is a holiday throwback to the great volunteer work we heard was happening in Berea.

The five-A fifth graders from Berea Midpark Middle School spread some holiday cheer to the senior citizens at a nearby senior living center. The students brightened up the center with decorations like candy cane mice, place mats, and the snowflakes you see here, and they also served lunch to the seniors.

Seniors and students were also able to just spend time talking and sharing meaningful stories, and one of the highlights was when everyone joined in for a holiday sing-a-long. ♪ And if you ever saw it ♪ ♪ You would even say it glows ♪

Teacher Mrs. Medvetz tells us, it was such a super experience that the students didn't wanna leave and the staff, asked us to come back again. I'm happy to share that we formed a bond; we'll be returning to see them soon. We really love to see intergenerational activities like that one, and we hope that bond continues to grow strong.

Thanks to Mrs. Medvetz for sharing this, along with teachers Mr. Simon, Mrs. Parker, and Mrs. Debrock. Wel here's an A+ for your fantastic five-A fifth graders.
