ABOVE: Once a month, a group of children made up of one student from each second and third grade class at Bel Air Elementary walks to Lakeland House Assisted Living Center just down the road. Once there, they read to several of the residents. “It is precious,” said Bel Air Counselor Cheri Mahan. “They love to see the children, and our kids learn so much from being with them.” Pictured are (back row, from left) BreAnna Killingsworth, Daniel Banuelos, Jasmine Cerrillo, Kaitlyn Capp, Jorge Sotto, Julissa Marron, Grace Emerine, Austyn Basher and (seated, from left) Brylie Davila, Nancy Godinez, Marc Padilla and Kaylee Monday.
