Sixth grader host their pen pals from Wellesley Senior Center

After meeting in the Christian B. Elliot Community Center foyer, sixth graders gave their pen pals tours of the campus before gathering in Wells Playhouse for refreshments. “I like it because you get to connect with older friends and learn about someone else,” explained a sixth grader. A classmate echoed the sentiment: “We get to meet new people—not just kids like us, but older people.” -
