Accolades


Some of our best accolades have come from the teachers and students who have participated in the Memory Bridge Initiative.  Here is what they have to say:

“Memory Bridge has had an impact on me very deeply. This program has taught me the value of life as well as friendships.  I really enjoyed that experience and would jump at the request to do it again!" – Denaye, Student, Julian High School

“I enjoyed this program very much; I had a lot of fun and learned a lot too!"  – Celeste, Student Kelly High School

“Just seeing my buddy's face brighten up when she would see us, made my day!" – Jenny, student, Roosevelt High School

“Memory Bridge opened my eyes to the world of older people with Alzheimer’s. I have a deeper sympathy for them now." – Larreca, student, Julian High School

“I learned so much in Memory Bridge. We actually got to see first hand what people with Alzheimer's are like and that really touched me. They told us great stories about their past and we loved to listen….  It was truly a unique experience.“ – Barbara, student, Kennedy High School

“Human nature has a way of allowing people of all ages, races, social and economic backgrounds to collaborate and grow. Such growth was experienced by everyone who participated in Memory Bridge: teachers, students, patients, nurses, and parents.”  – Brett, Assistant Principal, Roosevelt Magnet School, Peoria

“Through Memory Bridge, we were able to see how open-hearted our children can be if we just give them an opportunity to show it. – Dianne, Director for Secondary Language Arts, Spring ISD
