1st Graders Reaching Out to Seniors

(LaPorte, IN) - About 50 first graders in La Porte made Valentine’s Day cards on Friday.

The cards are going to residents at Brentwood Assisted Living.

 

Jackie Dermody came up with the idea to brighten the day of the residents and teach

youngsters about the value of giving back. The first graders at Handley Elementary School were finished making Valentine’s Day cards from scratch in less than an hour.

 

Jackie is coordinating other volunteer activities in the city for her husband mayor

Tom Dermody, who took office at the first of the year.
