Knoch High School Student Council and Extreme Leadership members traveled to Magnolia Place in Saxonburg to sing carols, make Christmas crafts, and play Bingo with the residents on Wednesday, December 11th. The students made cards to give to every senior at Magnolia and were also able to chat during a pizza lunch. Even though there were multiple requests to sing "Jingle Bells" twice, the staff at Magnolia Place said that what the residents most enjoyed was just sitting and talking with the kids. Senior Lindsay Mack is president of STUCO, and she, along with junior Camden Christie, are Knoch's two Extreme Leadership representatives. Mack and Christie plan to coordinate more celebrations with Magnolia Place this school year, as well as continuing the Teens Teach Tech program that started in 2023.
If you know of an organization or place looking to connect older folks with high school students, please contact teacher Kelley Thompson at [email protected].
