This past school year a group of eighth grade students came up with a plan to bring their community together creating a line of communication between Gates Middle School students and local senior citizens in the small coastal town of Scituate, Massachusetts.
Quite an accomplishment indeed! Glad to hear the group were recognized for their hard work and talents. I am very grateful the girls created this opportunity for us to meet them and their classmates!

Thanks for this, Jay. This program is great and so encouraging; I hope there are many more like them.
The suspension/postponement of Civics and History in Massachusetts (since 1993!? https://pioneerinstitute.org/blog/better-civics-education-is-the-massachusetts-way/#:~:text=Lawmakers%20repeatedly%20postponed%20and%2C%20in,from%20a%20public%20high%20school.) may help explain the dearth of recent generations I observed, admittedly unscientifically and randomly, at yesterday's No Kings protests in the state. These ladies are turning that around!
