September is busy at Bridges Together!
Here are 4 THINGS you need to know about Intergenerational Awareness Month:
Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker is signing a proclamation designating September as Intergenerational Awareness Month (IGAM)! (Special thanks to Representative Carmine Gentile, our liaison with the State House.) Mitchell Chester, Commissioner of Elementary and Secondary Education, has shared information about IGAM as well as Bridges Together's
resources in his most recent
newsletter. Celebrations have started...but there's more to come!
