"Letter to Grandparents" at The Great Kindness Challenge

During The Great Kindness Challenge week in February of this year, the students of 2A and 2B in elementary school, wrote letters to some elderly people at a geriatric center called Sinankay. They requested our support through the Social Service department to participate in their activity called "Letter to Grandparents" on Friendship Day.

The second-grade students demonstrated attributes of the PYP profile by being good communicators and caring individuals.

The elderly residents of the geriatric center who received the letters responded with gratitude, sending back letters to the students with their names and lovely drawings. Additionally, we received a written recognition for Mr. Dunn, our principal, for facilitating this activity, which undoubtedly brought joy to the hearts of the elderly residents.

Durante la semana de The Great Kindness Challenge en febrero del presente año, los alumnos de 2A y 2B escribieron unas cartas para algunos adultos mayores de un centro geriátrico llamado Sinankay, quienes nos solicitaron a través del departamento de Servicio social con Miss Paola Regalado, apoyarles en su actividad denominada “Carta al abuelo” realizada el día de la amistad.

Los alumnos de segundo grado demostraron atributos del perfil PYP siendo buenos comunicadores y solidarios.

Los adultos mayores del centro geriátrico que recibieron las cartas, respondieron con gratitud y contestaron cartas para los estudiantes con sus nombres y unos lindos dibujos, además recibimos un reconocimiento escrito para Mr. Dunn nuestro director, por facilitar esta actividad que sin duda alegró los corazones de los señores y señoras del centro geriátrico.
