Recognizing senior citizens' importance to the community and its schools, the Marion County (Florida) Public School District determined to improve older adults' involvement. Activities included a senior advisory council, an annual school-visiting event, and computer-assisted instruction for older adults. Another initiative, "100 Grandparents," has senior adult volunteers lead brief read-aloud exercises for K-2 students. (MLH)
