Meals on Wheels Senior Interviews

Mrs. Whelchel’s third period 6th grade Language Arts class recently met with La Center Meals on Wheels participants.  The students interviewed the community members to gather stories about their life experiences.  The sixth graders are currently working to turn the interview notes into biographical sketches that they plan on sharing with the Meals on Wheels participants later.  Mrs. Whelchel feels that connecting with La Center community members is vital to teaching students their place in the La Center community and that conversations across generations can lead to greater understanding and positive community and student growth.
