Songs of Springtime at Atria

We had a delightful time sharing Songs of Springtime with Atria residents and staff. Karen played a dozen songs with lyrics about “spring” from the 1870s through to the 1970s. Tamera prepared a beautiful Powerpoint for all who desired to sing along, and Paul served double duty as tech guru and page turner! Each resident received a program and a floral postcard to add a touch of beauty to their rooms. It was a sweet and gentle time during Holy Week to remember and marvel at the beauty of God’s creation and gifts to us all.
