Close to 200 seniors were treated to an afternoon of lunch and entertainment.

鈥淚t is us really working to build bridges between the younger and older generations,鈥 said Walnut Grove Secondary counsellor Shirley Peterson.

鈥淲hen you hear the kids and the seniors talk, it is a beautiful thing.鈥

This is the 16th year the high school has held the annual luncheon in May, right around Mother鈥檚 Day.

鈥淚t is building our community,鈥 said Walnut Grove principal Jim Darby.

鈥淎s they get older, they lose the opportunity to connect with the younger generation and this gives them a chance to talk  with teenagers and see what sort of qualities people have.鈥

The seniors are invited from the local seniors homes and treated to lunch, dessert and entertainment, all courtesy of the Walnut Grove students.

The students sit amongst the seniors during lunch and the food was prepared by Randy鈥檚 Catering, with the help of some of the Walnut Grove students.
