Through a series of newspaper articles, we have been learning about some of the major types of dementia. We started with Alzheimer’s type dementia which is the most common type of dementia. We then explored Lewy Body dementia and learned that that can either refer to dementia with Lewy bodies or Parkinson’s disease dementia. The next article focused on Frontotemporal Dementia to which we discovered there are 5 main types: Behavioral Variant, Primary Progressive Aphasia, Corticobasal Syndrome, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, and FTD with ALS. In the last article, we explored Vascular Dementia, the second most common form of dementia. Today, we are going to learn about Mixed Dementia.

Last wee, YME Middle and High School Student Council members partnered for a special service project at Granite Ridge and the Care Center, helping the residents plant their flowers to enjoy throughout the spring and summer.

Cookies and lemonade wrapped up the visit. The experience was a way for students to give back to the community and build connections across generations.
