Aitkin Community Education

A program that has been a partnership between Aitkin County CARE and Rippleside for over 25 years, this initiative brings together older adults and 3rd graders in a pen-pal scenario. Each 3rd grader at Rippleside is given the name and address of a "Grandfriend". We will meet at the beginning of the year, and then write letters all school year. At the end of the year, we will celebrate with a luncheon. To register to be a grandfriend, please sign up online at www.isd1.ce,eleyo.com or call our office at 218-927-7736

Do you love cribbage? Several times a year our 4th grade teachers look for folks to come play cribbage for an hour or so with their classes. It's a great way to learn math skills and socialize! Sign up to be put on the email list! We will email you when we know dates they plan to play!
