To GV Seniors and Parents from the Conversation Station: Conversation Station is implementing an “Adopt-A-Senior” program for Grand Valley Senior students. Seniors will be randomly paired with a caring family in the community who will send them an encouraging congratulatory card (and possibly a small token, like a gift-card) in the mail. Parents of seniors would simply need to send their students name and address to CS.Orwell@gmail.com if they want to participate in the program, and they will confidentially send the information to a family on the list! Then, the family will send something to the senior in hopes to help lift their spirits and let them know that the community is thinking of them during this time. Please contact the CS for more details!
