Intergenerational “Senior Prom” held at Seabrook Retirement Community
More than 100 senior citizens and high school students enjoyed an evening full of dancing and fun
On June 6, more than 100 senior citizens from Seabrook Retirement Community and students from local high schools and colleges enjoyed an evening full of fun and dancing at the annual “Senior Prom” held at Seabrook’s Princeton Dining Room.
The event brings together high school and college students employed by Seabrook’s Dining Services and residents at the active retirement community in Tinton Falls, New Jersey. Many student participants are recipients of the Seabrook Scholars Fund. The fund is a program where residents donate money to eligible students for their upcoming college or secondary school education.
“Residents had a fantastic time socializing with our student employees. It was a great opportunity to bring generations together,” said Community Resources Manager Michelle Aguilar.
