Gaithersburg High School Students Support Local Seniors with Tech Assistance

In a heartwarming initiative, students from Gaithersburg High School have taken the lead in helping local seniors navigate modern technology. Recognizing the challenges many elderly residents face with smartphones, computers, and other digital devices, these compassionate teenagers have dedicated their time to provide one-on-one tutoring sessions.
The program not only empowers seniors to become more tech-savvy but also fosters intergenerational connections within the community. Students have reported that the experience has been mutually beneficial, as they learn valuable life lessons from the seniors while sharing their knowledge of technology.
In addition to this initiative, the community has witnessed acts of bravery and kindness. A Germantown teenager recently returned home from the hospital after heroically shielding a stranger from a bullet, showcasing the courage found within the youth of the area. Furthermore, several toy drives across Montgomery County are working tirelessly to ensure families in need have a joyful holiday season, highlighting the spirit of giving and community support.
