Let's Celebrate at CBA!
‌

Generations Gather

The door opened to a small community center and 12 eager Grade 4 students entered. Excited and yet a bit unsure of what the next hour would hold, the students were ready. With board games and notebooks in hand, they hesitantly made their way in and began to ask how they could help set the room to meet their guests. And who were these guests that 9- and 10-year-old students were to meet? Senior citizens! My heart swelled as I saw their delight begin to surface as the activities began.

Click here to read all about and see photos from Grade 4's visit to the community center!
