Residents at The Waterford received a collection of letters penned by Grade Six students in Joanne Calder's class at Beach Grove Elementary School.
These were hand-made and handwritten cards that each included an in-depth letter asking residents questions about themselves and sharing details about the students' lives.
Recreation Director Brenda Hodson has been inviting residents individually or in small groups of three or four to read through the cards. Often residents will read the cards out loud to each other. This has been a source of much laughter and even a few tears. Mostly these letters have brought residents an immense amount of joy.
