Third-grade students in Carrie Atchison’s class at Meadowbrook Elementary School in the East Meadow Union Free School District took a trip to Salisbury Senior Center in Westbury to participate in a unique craft project in preparation for Memorial Day.
Using plastic sandwich bags, a piece of wire, ribbons, and patriotic stickers, each student teamed up with a senior to fashion a one-of-a-kind wreath. Several of the plastic bags were tied around the wire to create a fluffy effect. The wreaths were then decorated with the stickers and red, white, and blue ribbons.
After the projects were completed, the students and seniors enjoyed juice and cookies, as well as each other’s companionship.
