Join the Intergenerational Schools on Friday, September 25, 2026, for
Chronicling Our History, Launching Our Next Chapter
Hosted at the beautiful new Martin Luther King Jr. Branch of the Cleveland Public Library, A Storied Celebration brings together friends and families of the Intergenerational Schools to honor the rich history of our first 25 years—and to help shape the next chapter of our story as we look to the future. Like the community it celebrates, this event is rooted in joy, connection, and shared purpose.
Share Your Moment
As we celebrate our 25th anniversary, we invite you to be part of the story. Whether you were with us for a single school year or have been part of the journey for decades, we want to hear from you.
What’s a moment that has stayed with you?
A vivid memory. A turning point. A moment of pride, laughter, growth, or connection.
We’ll be featuring selected stories throughout the year on our website, social media, print materials, and at anniversary events.
Not sure what to share? Here are a few prompts to spark your memory:
- A moment that reflects the impact of our unique mission and model—e.g. multi-age classes, intergenerational visits, students learning at their own pace
- A moment you knew this school was the right place for you or your child
- A project, activity, or relationship that shaped your learning or growth
- A memory that made you laugh, cry, or see the world differently
- A time someone helped you, listened to you, or inspired you
- A moment that still makes you proud
