Residents of the StoryPoint senior living community in Rockford were treated to music and artwork compliments of Rockford Freshman Center students. Members of the school orchestra and art club made separate visits to the center on 10 Mile Road NE, to share their talents and enjoy chatting over hot chocolate with residents.

Other Rockford Public Schools students also visit StoryPoint, which provides more than 150 apartments for independent and assisted living and memory care.
