GLADSTONE -- Students from Mark Cousineau’s woodshop class at Gladstone High School brought some cheer this past holiday season to Lakeview Assisted Living and Memory Care through a special Christmas tree project.
The students worked side by side with Lakeview residents to create beautifully crafted wooden trees while sharing skills, stories and plenty of smiles. The finished trees served as festive decorations throughout Lakeview.
The intergenerational project offered a meaningful opportunity for connection, allowing residents to engage in hands-on creativity while students experienced the joy of giving back to the community.
