BRANFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — Seniors in Branford, Connecticut, are teaching students cursive, how to read legal documents and other life skills.
“Everybody’s texting, all their assignments go through computers,” said Cherie Strucaly, the director of the AmeriCorps senior program at the Agency on Aging of South-Central Connecticut. “So, how do they learn to put a sentence together? How do they learn to spell? How do they learn how to communicate with each other beyond texting?”
The Canoe Brook Senior Center is setting up pen pals with the students. Letters will be exchanged monthly.
The pen pals met for the first time Thursday.
