STARS Program

The RCS School District collaborates with Stars Intergen Corporation, a not-for-profit that provides quality intergenerational programming, to enhance the educational experience for RCS students in grades Pre-K  through 8.  The unique partnership draws upon the knowledge and experience of adults aged 60 and older to enrich the lives of RCS students and promote academic success.

The Seniors Teaching and Reaching Out to Students (STARS) and Middle School Star Helpers (MSSH) Programs provide opportunities for:

  • The RCS school district to tap into the talents and energies of local seniors to enhance classroom learning and give teachers extra assistance in the classroom;

  • Students to grow academically and develop self-esteem through the wisdom and support offered by senior volunteers; and

  • Seniors to make an invaluable contribution to their community while maintaining an active lifestyle.
