Last Wednesday 17 kindergarten students, along with their teacher from St. Joseph Catholic School in Waxahachie Texas, took to the road for a field trip to entertain the residents of Pleasant Manor Health and Rehabilitation. (St. Joseph's school is where Levi went for his elementary years and where Maribeth now works. Maribeth was involved in arranging the trip.)
The students opened with prayer followed by the singing of the National Anthem. They went on to sing a variety of songs including B-I-N-G-O, Zippitty Do Da, Father Abraham and many more. The program ended with each student reading to the residents. Pictures of the students and residents were taken and many hugs and handshakes were exchanged between all.
The “well-seasoned kids at heart” residents totally enjoyed being with "real kids." Maribeth hopes to plan a few more field trips with other grades to entertain at the center before the end of the school year.
From MaryMay Angelil: "I talked to Mother on the phone this evening and told her that Maribeth had sent me a picture of her with the children. She said they sang so well and they were all so sweet and sooo well-behaved."
