The LAUGHTER!  The FUN!  The JOY!  It all happened this afternoon when we were visited by the Bloomfield Middle School Uplevel Students!  Their Mission? To uplift the community.  Students arrived with their teachers, Keith Roll, 6th grade English, and Debbie Davis, 6th grade special education.  Our residents know how to have fun and when a bunch of middle schoolers show up the place erupts with excitment!  Thank you Bloomfield Middle Schoolers.  Your mission was accomplished today!

Making artificial poppies is a long-standing tradition and today we all pitched in to help the local Veterans Affairs assemble poppies. Close to 400 poppies were assembled and we had a good time sharing stories and remembering our own experiences with the symbolic poppy.

Today at Clark Meadows, Katherine McGrath lead the Music History series with a new topic.  Great Conductors, such as Marin Alsop, Lorin Verncove Maazel, Herbert von Karajan, Juliette Nadia Boulanger, and Fritz Reiner were featured.  So interesting to learn about the different styles and what all those hand gestures and arm motions mean!

Bringing the joy of music!
Lynne Standish

Bringing the joy of music!

Rocappella is a women's a cappella group from Rochester, NY.  Their mission is to "bring the joy of music to members of our community who need it most."  And that is exactly what they did recently with their concert here at Ferris Hills.  Under the direction of Maggie Symington, who started the group in 2014, these women, who have a variety of backgrounds come together to spread their joy of singing.  They perform most often at a variety of senior communities in the Rochester area, as well as the YWCA and even had an invitation to perform at a holiday party at the Naval Observatory for the then Vice-President, Joseph Biden and his guests.  

From the golden oldies to gospel, showtunes, holiday, and even pop music, these ladies use their talents and our residents certainly reaped the benefits!
