Every Monday morning you will receive an email reminding you to submit your evaluation information online. We will use this to track the activities and the progress your entire team makes throughout the 8 weeks.
By the end of the 8 weeks, we hope the activities you’ve participated in have become almost a habit and that you continue to participate in many intergenerational activities on a regular basis. The more our community works together with all generations, the stronger we become.
Below we have listed the actions listed on the weekly evaluation. To the right of each action is a list of ideas that are included in that action. This list is not complete so if you have creative ideas to add, please share them!
