Legacy Project: Getting Started

The Legacy Project is an interdisciplinary study, incorporating various subject areas --- science, health, social studies, geography, history, and language arts. The project also allows students to gain interviewing, problem solving, and critical thinking skills.

While students gather useful data, they are indirectly gaining an appreciation of elders and aging successfully. This project will positively impact children’s views towards the aging process and to show that living a healthy, active life to advanced ages is a valuable and attainable goal for all people.
