Welcome Uplevel Students!

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!

Poppy

The Flower of Remembrance

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!

The Arts

Enriched Living!

"The arts are not a way to make a living.  They are a very human way of making life more bearable.  Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake.  Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio.  Tell stories.  Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem.  Do it as well as you possibly can.  You will get an enormous reward.  You will have created something."  Kurt Vonnegut

Our pictures show Jody Wibur, Activities department, preparing for class and inspiring us all.  The leaves are from the giant hydrangea bushes outside of Clark Meadows.  It was an interesting medium for artistic creation on a hot summer day.
