Bear River High School Social with residents

Students from Bear River High School visited our Grass Valley Highgate community. As part of their leadership class, students participated in one on one discussions with residents. Residents were asked questions about their life experiences and family life growing up. Although residents and students come from different generations, this activity brought the different generations together in order help bridge the intergenerational gap closer together.
