2nd Graders Visit Windmill Nursing Facility
Mrs. Balentine and her entire class of 2nd graders visited the residents this afternoon. They sang a song to begin with and from the reaction of the residents it really blessed their hearts. Then the children passed out homemade cards with special greetings and bible verses to the residents. After that they sat among the residents and made an Easter craft together. All these things made the residents feel very special and there were smiles abundant in that room! Afterwards some of the residents shared their thoughts and how much they were blessed by the afternoon. One man cried as he told me, "I enjoyed myself more than I have for years." Thank you 2nd graders for being such a blessing. Your visit was definitely a true act of love and service.

I THINK THAT WAS GREAT THAT THE 2ND GRADERS GET TO INTERACT WITH ELDERLY PEOPLE AND GET TO EXPERIENCE THAT
