We had such a wonderful and meaningful day at EW Thompson Health & Rehabilitation Center! Our students really enjoyed spending time with the residents, sharing smiles, and giving out beautiful flowers that made everyone's day brighter 🌸💛

A huge thank you to STATE FAIR FLORAL for generously donating the flowers—your kindness truly made this celebration extra special. After our visit, we wrapped up the day with a delicious lunch at MIGHTY MELT, which was the perfect way to finish our trip!

We’re so grateful to these fantastic community partners for supporting our students and helping create memories we’ll cherish always. Let’s give them a big shout-out for their amazing support! 👏💙
