Alexandria — A kaleidoscope of colors filled the room as 36 preschoolers from the Child and Family Network Center tried on hats knitted especially for them by the “Krunch Bunch,” a group of seniors from the Alexandria Redevelopment and Housing Authority.
“It's always exciting to bring one generation to another,” said ARHA representative Marvel Robertson.
The hats were presented to the children Feb. 7 in the Senior Room of the Charles Houston Recreation Center.
“It's wonderful seeing the looks on the faces of the children showing off their new hats,” added CFNC preschool director Sharon Shackleford. “This is a wonderful partnership for us.”
The Child and Family Network Center serves at-risk children to prepare them for a successful kindergarten and school experience. For more information, visit www.cfnc-online.org.
