Show Davis YouthEducation THURSDAY. Students learn to care for elderly LAYTON The fourth graders at Adams Elementary are learning what it means to be part of a community of caring. They have formed a partnership with the Apple Village Assisted Care facility, gaining an understanding of the older generation. The partnership is part of the Utah State Office of Education's Character Education program and is funded by a State grant. Thiokol Propulsion and Real Estate Investments, as community partners, have provided additional funding for the project. Each student made a birthday card for the residents as well as wrote letters about themselves to read to an individual resident. After entertaining the residents with songs, poems and piano pieces, each student found a resident to read their personal letter to. The children were amazed when many of the residents had tears streaming down their faces, said Susie Bowman, project director (along with Nancy Hayes, both fourth grade teachers). AH the residents seemed genuinely interested in hearing what the children had to say' After leaving Apple Village, the students said they felt happy or good about the experience, said Bowman. Everyone had a chance to discuss any feelings they had in written and oral form. Each student keeps a journal entitled I'm a Star, My Record of Action. The writing helps students develop respect for the uniqueness of others, regardless of their age." said Bowman. They develop a personal code of ethics and values based on their experiences." The fourth graders are already making Christmas gifts for the Apple Village residents.
