Triumph Academy third grader Emma Blazoff, 8, laughs with Teruko Irbine as they work together to make a snowman ornament during their class' monthly visit with seniors at the Frenchtown Senior Center Monday, as Lilly Bressler, 8, looks on. Liz Heskett has been taking her class to the center for craft and snack time, a program which they have dubbed "Intergenerational Therapy." She says the time together is not only good for the seniors, but it has been "good for the kids to learn how to interact with seniors." Santa made a surprise visit to the group, as well, handing out candy canes and taking Christmas wish orders while visiting with the children and seniors alike.
