Over the last 4 months, the Youth Center has been collecting “Make a Senior Smile” messages from our youth members and families who we delivered gifts to and several from Miss Fahey’s and Team 8 – Grade 5 class at Woodland Elementary School!
In April, Miss Fahey and her Team 8 colleagues collaborated with the Youth Center to achieve this goal and they gave their students an assignment to write a personal note to a senior in Milford and tell them about themselves and their interests. They also asked them to include one silly or random fact about themselves to make them smile! Check out some of these adorable messages with this slideshow we created and
shared with the Milford Senior Center to share as well!
Especially during this time where the Senior population is at high risk due to COVID-19, we wanted to bring a smile to their faces to brighten their day! We are very fortunate to have a Senior Volunteer opportunity here at the Milford Youth Center, helping run programs, hand out snacks and dinners and help with other various projects throughout a normal school year. We miss seeing their smiles and seeing the joy they get from being around the kids, so we are bringing the joy to them during this difficult time!
