Oh! The Places You'll Go!

Students from Seton School walked down today to celebrate the Birthday of Dr. Seuss! According to experts, we hear he is turning 108 today! Jennifer Musone, administrator, read the book "Oh! The Places You'll Go!" to kick off the festivities. In celebration, the students wore hats and read to the residents from some of their own favorite Dr.Seuss books. One resident, Sharlene Peterson, had a special request to have Hunter Hanaway read to her. Sharlene met Hunter around Valentine's Day when the kids were in for their last visit. In fact, it came out in conversation that both like to play the Wii! Hunter and Sharlene both look forward to a Wii tournament of sorts in the future here at Juniper! Wii fitness and bowling have become a fun part of the lives of our Residents and just one way we stay active! After the reading, everyone gathered to cut the cake and sing Happy Birthday to two of the students who share their Birthdays with Dr. Seuss. The cake was delicious and festive.
A special Thank you to Pam Mitchell, Connections Director, for coordinating this fun activity! As we continue into performance month, please accept our invitation to our Annual Night at the Oscars on March 8th at 5:30pm. If you have a friend or loved one at Juniper...it's entertaining, even comical at times, and a very special event for all of our Residents! Each Resident will receive a special Oscar award. This is one you won't want to miss.
