Senior Life Skills Day

Tue, 15 Sep 2026 17:00:00 GMT

Thursday, October 15, 2026 | 7:40–10:45 AM
Caledonia High School

Caledonia High School is looking for community members to help our seniors prepare for life after high school! While students in grades 9–11 take the PSAT, our seniors will spend the morning learning practical, real-world skills from members of our community.

Presenters will lead approximately 20-minute sessions with small groups of students and may repeat their session throughout the morning. Topics could include personal finance, insurance, car or home maintenance, professional communication, healthy relationships, legal basics, conflict resolution and more. Have another area of expertise that could benefit our seniors? We’d love to hear your idea!

Interested in presenting? Complete the form to get involved.
