6th graders from all three middle schools presented biographical projects to seniors living at StoryPoint Kalamazoo and Friendship Village this week as part of their project-based-learning curriculum. Earlier in the semester, the students interviewed the seniors about their lives before visiting again Tuesday to present their projects, which included posters and books and a yearbook that told the life stories of the residents. 👏👏 What a great collaboration between our students and the community! 👏👏
