Last night, Tomah High School Interact Club sponsored a BINGO night for our Veterans. Students not only enjoyed visiting and assisting Veterans with their bingo cards but also played along, creating cherished memories and, of course, friendly competition.

Intergenerational activities like this foster meaningful connections, mutual learning, and emotional well-being for both Veterans and high school students, enhancing social ties and personal growth for all involved.

A big thank you to our students for taking time from your busy schedules to share a little joy with our Veterans. Your kindness and dedication truly make a difference! We'll capture more photos when you visit again in the spring! 🌷📸
