Healthy Community Initiative

A class of 4^th grade students to visit the Cannon Valley Suites and Bluebird Wing of the Northfield Retirement Center (NRC) each month during the upcoming school year.  The relationship between the residents and elementary-aged students began 15 years ago.  Each year, students learn about the elderly and their needs through literature and discussion.  Each month, the 4^th graders will sing to and visit with NRC residents, and the students will decorate parts of the NRC with seasonal decorations.
