Friendship bloomed at Friendship Village Senior Living in Tempe, Arizona! Fourth-grade students in Alison Ganssle’s class at Ward Traditional Academy, a part of the Tempe Elementary School District, met their senior pen pals for the first time after corresponding through handwritten letters throughout the school year with our Pen Pals for Seniors Program. Students performed songs for seniors, read books with them, and much more. It was an amazing day!
