I'd love to take this opportunity to thank your senior adult volunteers and share about the exciting projects we have coming up. Our Intergeneration tutors, Ruth Turner, Caroline Lofgren, Ken Rose, Christine Rosner, Sybil Suthergreen, Roy Borkenhagen, and Ivan Haugen have been lending their time and big hearts to the students in Mrs. Davis, Ms. King, Mrs. Tanberg, Mrs. Brubaker, and Mr. McGowan's classes. We are so fortunate that they have joined our West Woodland community and are making a difference in our students' lives. Our Norse Home Reading Buddies, Charlotte Pederson, Lucille Hayes, Esther Voorhies, Molly Holscher, Geri Whipps, Elsie Shogren, Johnnie Greer, Eileen Hambly, Dorothy King, Marian Timo, and Ragni Osterberg have been visiting West Woodland every Thursday afternoon to read with Ms. King's students. It's truly touching to watch the friendships grow between our students and their Reading Buddies.
West Woodland has quite a few intergenerational events popping up like crocuses.
We have so much fun planned before summer arrives. The Memory Baskets for the Columbia Lutheran Home are being assembled by Room 102, and will be given to the residents in May. Thank you also to Christine for creating a beautiful Memory Basket display by the office. We hope that these baskets will conjure up treasured memories for the Columbia Lutheran Home residents. Cathy Hutchison and Bob Couillard were speedy with their typesetting and layout.
