Senior volunteers Sponsored Test

For the second year in a row, second grade students at Butterfield Elementary interviewed senior volunteers (age 50 and up) from the community.

The interviews were conducted by teams of three to four students and the questions revolved around “what life was like when they were 7 & 8 years old.”  Subjects like technology, games played and what chores they had to do were discussed.

The first of two meeting dates took place on April 8 with over 40 volunteers attending, and a second meeting is being planned for May 6.  At the May meeting, students will present written reports to their volunteers and then complete a craft together.

Second grade teacher Kathleen Kelley said the event was “a HUGE success … both the volunteers and students enjoyed the experience.”
