Gray skies, cold temperatures, and falling snow can sometimes make us feel lonely and bored. Playing games, sharing stories, and making crafts together with friends is always a great way to beat the winter blues. We have been visiting this local senior day center for several years now and it’s a place where we feel safe, welcome, and happy to be there.
We believe in the value of providing opportunities for our students to socialize. On Valentine’s Day, we celebrated by having a winter social. People danced, sang, played games, created art, and more. It was a great way to relax together before our winter break.
We jumped, danced, skipped, and swiveled to help raise money for the American Heart Association. Students enjoyed eating healthy snacks and had the opportunity to make Valentines for someone special. This was our third year participating in Jump Rope for Heart and we were excited to see so many people join together for this worthy cause.
We are so inspired by the talents, creativity, and determination of our students. We are grateful for the opportunity to help lead them towards a bright future. It was nice to recognize their many accomplishments at a recent special awards assembly.
The abilities displayed by students and staff at our annual talent show were incredible! Musicians, comedians, singers, dancers, and athletes entertained people of all ages. It was a wonderful event and we were proud to see so many people overcome their fears in order to share their talents with us. Congratulations to everyone who participated!
Our high school students are working on some special projects at the New Weis Center. This unique learning experience is truly beneficial to both of us. As each task is checked off the list, the students will be able to add new skills to their own personal toolboxes.
Besides building strength, karate can help to increase confidence and self-esteem. A dedicated karate instructor teaches us the importance of staying focused, respecting others, and improving our overall well-being. Our students enjoy participating in this special activity a few times throughout the school year.
Just like people, some dogs are more fortunate than others. Although we often have no idea what a dog has been through in its life, we do know that it needs love and encouragement. Our students are always more than happy to provide that. Although it takes longer for some pups to warm up than others, they usually come around and accept what we have to offer. This is so important because it makes them more adoptable.
