As part of Newsday's "Bridging the Gap" program, members of
Bethpage High School's Student Civic Association have been meeting
with senior citizens in the "Young at Heart" group at St. Martin of
Tours church once a month, working on arts and crafts and sharing
experiences. Pictured here, students take some tips from one of their
senior friends on how to create decorative flowers from tissue paper.
"This program brings generations together," said Jacqueline Jill-Rito,
Bethpage High School's Student Civic Association Advisor. "Despite
the many years that separate them, both the students and seniors are
having fun and learning a lot about each other. It's been very
rewarding for both groups.'
