Spencer Tenants Enjoy a Pair of Activities

December 22nd, 2011

SPENCER — Intergenerational programming continues to flourish as the Lifeskills class at David Prouty High School arrived at Senior Living at Prouty recently as part of their monthly visit.  This time, the students and tenants made homemade holiday ornaments, with cutouts and decorative items donated and coordinated by tenant Sandra Fongeallaz and her daughter Sandy Castle. Heather Petruzzi and Donna Hayes, class aides, as well as nearly a dozen tenants also participated. Everyone enjoyed punch and snacks, and were surprised to each be given a hand crafted angel and beautiful card made by one of the participants.

Passion East a very interactive musical holiday performance took place in front of appreciative tenants at Senior Living at Prouty as well. Tenants were first treated to a lunch buffet of sandwiches and salad, with cookies and pie for dessert.. Once the show began, keyboard, percussion, and sax were highlighted, with tenants joining in with vocals and “noisemakers”, with songs from legends Sam Cook and Mel Torme all the way to dancing to “The Saints Come Marchin’ In”. Several people took their turns on the mike singing a line or two…or three! Volunteers from Spencer Cable Access were on hand to videotape (and enjoy) the show too.

Below are some photos of the two events, the first three from the Life Skills Class and the next two from the performance.  As always, click on thumbnail to access larger version.
