Last Wednesday, both kindergarten classes from ACCA took a field trip to Presbyterian Village. Can I tell you how much I love that their field trip was going to spread joy to an elderly group? Once there, the kids recited their ABC Bible verses A through R (that's as far as they have gotten this year; we'll have the rest completed before the school year ends) in front of the whole group. They also sang a couple of songs and recited a few poems. Here's a picture Ryan snapped from behind a group of residents who were watching the kids.
After they finished, the kids and chaperons went to visit with the residents. Most of them were overjoyed these precious children were visiting with them. I was so impressed with several of the kids too. As I stood by Meme most of the time, a few kids would walk right up and say "Hello, my name is ___, and I'm six years old. What is your name?" Several kids even stuck out their hands to shake hands. I loved seeing this. I know this visit brought joy to so many of these older adults. I overheard many people say "please come back soon!"
Lily was happy to introduce her friends to Meme. Sweet Callie walked right up and gave her a hug which made Meme smile. Love that little girl!
Lily also made Meme a special card and delivered it to her which she appreciated.
Ryan also snapped this picture of the four of us. I was so glad Dad was able to take a break from work for a little bit to come see them perform. Lily was so happy to see him too. I'm glad to have this picture of four generations.
What a wonderful experience for the adults and kids alike!
