Fifth-graders recreate coffeehouse era of the 60s and 70s
Local senior citizens group participates, shares stories 

July 13, 2009— Adorned in tie-dyed t-shirts and beads, Linda Armour’s fifth-graders recreated the hip coffeehouse era of the 60s and 70s at the end of the school year.

Sipping on coffee, tea, lemonade and iced tea, parents and members of Scribblers, a local senior citizen writing group, in attendance listened to students recite poetry and immigration stories they wrote. They also enjoyed musical performances by Heidi Wenzel on the piano, Tim Rokos on the banjo and Olivia Munson on the violin.

Some of the senior citizens even shared their personal immigration stories.
