St . Patty ’ s Day Party
St . Patrick ’ s Day is on Wednesday , March 17 .
We will be decked out in our green attire and change our last name to O ’…. My name will be Patrice O ’ Melton . That way we will ALL be Irish , at least for a little while . We will play Irish games , some LUCKY bingo and finalize the day with some Irish dancing , music and food .
Throughout the week , we will be doing some other Irish activities such as taking a trip to Ireland , making an Irish craft , and playing a few Irish games .
You better get your green on or you might get pinched by our “ wee ” little leprechauns .
Watch the calendar for a fun-filled week of going GREEN !

Spring Cleaning
Spring begins on Saturday , March 20 . So with that being said , many of us begin to clean out our closets and bring in new clothes . Please remember that when you do bring in springtime clothing that you make sure your loved ones name is labeled in each set of clothes .
Also , with the warmer weather , lots of tiny pests begin to crawl in the cracks . So if you bring in any type of food whether it be candy , cookies or crackers , please put them in a sealed container so ants and other insects cannot get to them . Thank you , The Housekeeping Staff
