Senior Citizens Are “Book Buddies” with Elementary School Students

Posted on March 19, 2026

Supercast Episode 341
It is a heartwarming partnership between senior citizens and elementary school students, a partnership where seniors from a local assisted living center are showing up and reading with kids in the library.

On this episode of the Supercast, we take you to Oquirrh Elementary School. That’s where we see first-hand how being book buddies is building connections and companionship between the students and seniors, and bridging a generation gap. But best of all, it is inspiring a love for literacy in young children who look forward to the monthly visits from their senior friends.

Riverton High School hosted the 2026 Jordan School District Chinese Culture Festival, bringing together students from across the District to celebrate Chinese language learning and cultural exchange.

The festival included a Chinese language Jeopardy-style competition, cultural activity stations, a student talent show, and a new student and parent panel discussion. During the panel, high school students and parents shared their experiences in the Chinese Dual Language Immersion (DLI) and Bridge programs, encouraging younger students and families to continue studying Chinese through high school and highlighting the opportunities language learning can provide.

Special thanks to Carolyn Gough, Dr. Amanda Bollinger, and Rochelle Waite for presenting awards.

The event was also supported by student leaders from the RMR Chinese Club and the Chinese Bridge programs at Riverton High School and Mountain Ridge High School, who volunteered many hours to help organize the festival, prepare materials, and run activities.
