Make a Grandfriend Goes VIRTUAL!
Our world may be topsy turvy and full of uncertainty, but one thing we know for sure is how much joy kids bring to the senior citizens in our community.
Since we can't visit in person, we will send e-communication to brighten their days!
We are inviting kids to create virtual cards/greetings/etc to send to senior citizens in our community.
Video messages can include:
- playing their musical instruments
- singing songs
- telling a joke
- reading a poem
- talking about what are grateful for
- video of the beach/water or trees
- etc ...get creative!
Also submissions can be photos/still images of things like cards they make or pictures/painting they draw. You get the idea!
Video submissions should be in one of the following formats: .mov, .mp4, .m4vPhoto images should be .jpg or .png
Please send all submissions to office@ryeyouthcouncil.org

Because older adults are at a higher risk for severe illness due to COVID-19, they are being urged to stay home. Many are at home alone, which is lonely and isolating. We hope to brighten their days with phone calls from local students.
