A Bridges Intergenerational Program for Kids in Grades K-2 and Older Adults – including Grandparents

Do you know a child who enjoys spending time with grandparents or older adults? How about one 
who likes book and art? Or perhaps a child who can’t wait to get into fourth-grade to do the Bridges 
program?
Well, we have the perfect opportunity for them! The Goodnow Library is piloting a new Bridges 
program, entitled Bridges: Our Stories, for children in grades kindergarten through second grade on 
Thursdays from Feb. 27 – April 3 from 4 – 5:15PM. 
Following the successful formula that the fourth-grade classes in Sudbury use, pairs of volunteers 
will work alongside the children in small groups. To prepare for each session, children will have the 
opportunity to interview their grandparents or their parents, about their grandparents’ experience. 
Together, the children and volunteers will enjoy a timeless book, share about their own stories and 
create a piece of art. There will also be a fun game each week. The sessions will be led by staff from the 
Goodnow and Bridges Together. 
To register a child, go to www.goodnowlibrary.org/calendar 
To volunteer or if you have questions, please contact Andrea Weaver at Andrea@BridgesTogether.org 
or 978-400-6813.
