Elementary students playing checkers with senior citizens

Third-graders from E.M. Baker Elementary School spread cheer while visiting their “grandfriends” at the Atria Cutter Mill on Dec. 17 and Dec. 18. Students began their visits with a heartwarming sing-along of holiday songs. The highlight of the visit, however, was when students and residents engaged in lively games of checkers using 3-D printed pieces created in Baker School’s Innovation Lab. Students guided their grandfriends through the rules of the game and shared their unique playing pieces. Students and seniors enjoyed the opportunity to play games and connect with one another.
