Happy Wednesday! It was a great day here at The Willows! The sun finally came out after 3 days of rain! Our day began in the most awesome way with a special concert from the McGuire Middle School Jazz band and Chorus. We had an amazing time listening to these talented young people and if you'd like to see it in action you can check out our Facebook page. Their were several LIVE videos posted of all the fun! Next, we came back to the Willows for some trivia fun and the weather report. Our Catholic residents gathered in the Chapel for Rosary and Communion with Deacon Jim. After lunch our Primrose Kindergarten kids visited and we made a great "grass head" craft! Both the residents and the kids loved making silly faces on cups then filling the cups with soil and grass seed- soon the seeds will sprout and the faces will have silly grass "hair". It was the kids last visit of the year, since they will be graduating the end of the month. The kids shared their favorite parts of Kindergarten with the residents and the kids were in awh when the residents shared some of their favorite times in school! One little boy stated, "I cant believe they had school way back then!". We all laughed! After the kids left we took a little break, as the day has been very busy, and then started up with Musical Moments to round out the day.
