Academy at Sister’s Girls Adopt Awbrey House Residents

Jan. 5, 2009 - PRLog -- For several months, the girls from The Academy at Sisters have entertained the residents of Awbrey House, an assisted living facility in Bend, Oregon. The Academy girls have been engaging the residents with a variety of activities ranging from playing bingo, doing crafts, reading books, giving manicures to singing and dance performances.

“The residents are really insightful and nice to talk to,” says Lizzie, an Academy student. Andie, another Academy student stated, “I’ve grown to love all of them!”

They are all learning so much,” explained Janice Cummings, Academy Activities Coordinator.
