Hey! Thank you so much for reaching out. As you know, this project is all about helping the elders in our town. They will appreciate it more than you know, so thanks for helping out. You can either write a letter or create any sort of artwork. Make sure to put your name so we can know who it is from.
Letter ideas:
•introduce yourself
•ask questions about their life to get them thinking & tie it in w/ info about your life
ex: my favorite food is pizza, what is yours?
• explain your interests (music, sports) & ask for theirs
• talk about your family members, ask about theirs
(“I really love playing soccer and I practice all the time. Is there something you are really passionate about? Now would be a good time to look into it or read about it!)
•let them know they are loved and their family misses them
•tell them we are thinking of them and they will get through this tough time
Art ideas:
Literally anything! Even drawing a rainbow to show happiness. The smallest things get them happy because they don’t get to see much art and the thought that someone made it just for them brightens their day :)
You can also combine the two like write a letter and draw something on the other side.
So just fill this out if you decide to write a letter or make art!
If you have any other questions, just let us know.
