Around the Campus MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS! It is that time of year when the weather gets a little…. okay a lot chiller and individuals come together to spend time with one another to enjoy the holiday season. The Orchards of Saxonburg celebrated their Merry Little Christmas party on Thursday, December 12th, 2019 from 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M.! There were light refreshments and music entertainment. Jess Kimbell sang many popular Christmas carols while she played the ukulele and keyboard. There was not an individual in sight that wasn’t singing along to the music. It was such a wonderful evening spent with friends, family, and Santa himself! COOKIES FOR THE FIRST RESPONDERS! The Orchards team worked hard across all campuses to ensure that our local, hardworking first responders would have plates of fresh baked cookies for the holidays. Residents paired with activity staff to whip up some delicious baked goods. Employees teamed up to bake blossom cookies, haystacks, thin mints, pumpkin and more at the Pepperberry Suites. Stone Pear residents decorated sugar cookies of all kinds. Our local first responders work hard all year long. As a special thank you, The Orchards wanted to brighten their holidays with some sweet treats. We truly appreciate everything that first responders do to keep our community safe.
