Memory Care Connections

Meet our Novato, CA - Novato HS executives

Jackson Devine

Novato High School Leader

My name is Jackson Devine, and I am a junior at Novato High School. After seeing Memory Care Connections online, I immediately thought about the impact that it could have in my own community. After I delivered students' letters to a local memory care facility for the first time, it was clear the joy they brought to residents. I was also surprised by how enthusiastic the students were about writing back to their pen pals. Memory Care Connections has shown me the importance of intergenerational bonds, especially with members of our community who are the most vulnerable.

Novato High School Co-Leader

My name is Ruby Grajqevci, and i’m a junior at Novato High, and have been in Marin School of the Arts for three years. After hearing about the message behind Memory Care and Connections, I was eager to involve myself in the cause. Since, I have gone weekly to drop off and assist the residents in their letter writing, I have witnessed the positivity this program brings to everyone participating. This program has demonstrated the importance of valuable relationships, and the ways that we can support each other as a community.
