We’re still catching up on all the holiday activities enjoyed by our EngAGEd seniors!
Cotton’s Point residents enjoyed an inter-generational gathering where seniors were entertained by elementary school kids to celebrate the holidays. Site Leader Jennifer Fallon: “For the second year, San Onofre Elementary students, pre-kindergarten and third graders, came to Cotton’s Point to sing holiday songs and play musical instruments. The residents really enjoyed the event. Next year, enhancements could include holiday treats to share, and extra time for the residents to interact with the students.”
Crafts Classes provide an opportunity for residents to explore their creativity through various mediums. Instructor Jennifer Fallon comments: “Our Crafts Class was a lot of fun this month. The residents decided to make the table arrangements and decorations for the Holiday Party. We painted and decorated pinecone trees for the tables. Residents also brought down holiday decorations to make more festive decorations for the community room. It was so nice to watch them use their resources and collaborate to make the room look beautiful for the party. They definitely took great pride in their work. Some residents even gave their decorations to other residents after the party. We’re looking forward to painting on canvas in January.”
