High School Seniors and Senior Citizens Go Bowling in Colorado Tradition
In the town of Broomfield, Colorado, there is a special bowling tradition. The great thing about this tradition is how it unites generations and brings members of the community together who would not have a lot in common otherwise.
Seniors from Broomfield High recently shared the lanes at Chipper’s bowling alley with some bowlers that are a little past their high school years. Physical Education teacher Tom Burgesser said that this is a proud school tradition that was sorely missed on both sides during the pandemic.
Burgesser’s bowling class typically hits the alley 4 times a week. Most of the time, they don’t go on Mondays because the lanes are reserved for the senior league. The senior league, however, doesn’t mind sharing every once in a while.
When the two very different generations get together, it’s more than just bowling but a chance to connect and share stories. Ultimately, both old and young walk away with a valuable experience. Check out Broomfields news site for the full story here.
We love this story. We’re big supporters of events and programs that bring a smile to the faces of our great older Americans. Our dedication to American seniors is exactly why we urge Congress to pass The Greatest Generation Benefits Act. Learn more about this important legislation and sign our petition here.
