Bates students shared -- and received! -- kindness yesterday at Geiger Elementary School through the college's Playground Pals program.

This morning, Bates College students made brunch for residents of Blake Street Towers in Lewiston and then joined them for food and conversation—a way to combat social isolation and forge intergenerational connections.

As high school students struggled with remote instruction this year, a partnership with Bates College gave them opportunities to get the help they needed. Nearly 60 Bates students have volunteered to tutor Lewiston High School students since the fall. https://t.co/p5x5aGN5eu
