WIMBERLEY— Feb. 26 is National Letter to an Elder Day and Alexis Pointe Senior Living of Wimberley is asking local students to participate by writing letters to assisted living and memory care residents.
Students can write letters, draw pictures or share notes about their day, interests or words of encouragement, shared a news release. All letters will be distributed to residents at Alexis Pointe, giving students a chance to practice kindness and communication, while giving residents mail that isn't bills or advertisements.

"For our residents, receiving letters from local students brings immense happiness and a strong sense of belonging to the community," said Tricia Gangstad, community relations director at Alexis Pointe Senior Living of Wimberley. "For students, it offers an opportunity to practice kindness, empathy and communication, while learning the value of honoring and engaging with older generations.
