For 17-year-old Max Millar, teaching little ones isn’t just about hand-painting flowers and pots, and then giving them to senior citizens — although that is one aspect of his job as a part-time educator at the Sunshine Academy preschool.
Millar helped his students — who were roughly between the ages of 4 and 10 — paint the pots and prepare the flowers for the senior citizens for Mother’s Day.
“I wanted to be a part of this project to show that young men can make a difference in children’s lives, and to make the grandmothers at River Meadows Senior Living in Alpine feel special,” Millar said in an email.
