Community 12/16: Gingerbread Houses

For today's community, the CORE kids and staff built gingerbread houses. Everyone had a fun time and all of the houses were very artistic. All of the gingerbread houses are in the CORE room on a shelf for display.

Community Discussion for 12/14: Happiness

During the lunch period, the CORE students and staff worked together to cook a fabulous brunch for the holidays. The pancakes and bacon were DELICIOUS!! 

Next, while we all sat at the table to eat our pancakes, we went around talking about what happiness means to you and what makes someone happy. We also discussed if we agreed on this following quote: "If you love somebody and you let they let you go, it will come back to you like a butterfly."

Senior Center 2010

On December 8th we all walked over to deliver tea and cookies to the senior center. The students were helping the seniors with holiday crafts or playing ping pong (and being soundly beaten) with the seniors. This is our second annual holiday tea, we all enjoyed ourselves. Jacob R was featured with a trumpet solo, and several seniors led with Christmas Carols. The high point was a senior at the young age of 99 who sang a solo of O' Christmas Tree in German.We can't wait for our return visit in the Spring.
