Ms. Lorna of Good Samaritan directs the activities that the 4th Grade did with the residents. The kids learned about the 'Decoration Day' memories that were shared, we sang Happy Birthday to all the May people--old and young. Once again, the kids get so much from socializing with the residents. We look forward to working with Good Samaritan again next year.
