Message from the Senior Citizen Community – Val Baker
I would like to thank CSI: Scituate for the invitation to be included in this new communication forum. As Vice Chairman for the Council on Aging, I feel strongly that the senior community works with the younger community for the better good of the town.
Over the past 40 years I have always strongly supported the Scituate schools. There are parents of school age children who think Scituate’s senior population does not support the schools. This is a misconception. My husband and many friends contribute weekly by volunteering in the schools. Many seniors teach religious classes for students in grades K-10. When a need presents itself, many seniors are willing to help.
After listening to discussion by town leadership and community members, it is clear that there is a unique opportunity presenting itself based on the needs of the seniors and the needs of the schools. The High School is quickly becoming space constrained. This could be alleviated if tenants of the High School such as the Recreation Department and/or the Early Childhood Center found a new home. Maybe now is the time for the Town of Scituate to consider a community center. Working together we can find the right answers.
