We took the break in the rain as an opportunity to release our butterflies. ⛅️
The butterflies were very excited to be in the fresh air and quickly spread their wings. 🦋
I think it’s safe to say a program was a success when you hear someone say “I have not touched a butterfly since I was a child”. ⭐️

✨ Who’s Who Wednesday! ✨
This week we’re shining the spotlight on Cindy, one of our amazing RMA’s! 💙
🏡 Cindy has been part of The Athenaeum family for almost 2 years.
🛒 Her very first job was bagging groceries at Winn Dixie in Florida.
🐶 When she’s not at work, you’ll find her hanging out with her dogs and boyfriend or doing a little online shopping.
🍝 Favorite foods? Italian cuisine and Red Bull! 😄
🌴 Fun fact: Cindy was born and raised in Florida and has only been living in New York for the past 8 years. Even more impressive, she has dedicated 28 years to healthcare!
❤️ Cindy has a huge heart and genuinely cares about both our residents and her coworkers.
Thank you, Cindy, for everything you do for our residents and team! 👏🎉

It is always a pleasure when Mrs Herr’s Third Grade class visits from State Street Elementary School.
For our final visit before school ends, we had a brief discussion about what makes the 4th of July more special this year over other years, the Semi Quincentennial.
Then, with the help of our residents, the children completed a questionnaire that they will hopefully save and look back on fifty years from now.
Our residents got to share with the children what the Bicentennial or 200 year Anniversary was like 50 years ago and how life was different then compared to now and we all shared what we thought might change in the next 50 years.
