June Jubilee!
What do a duck and George Washington
have in common?
One has a bill on his face
and the other has his face on a bill!
Father’s Day Extravaganza!
In honor of the men in our lives who have raised
us, advised us, and helped us grow, the Senior
Center held a Father’s Day Party, which included
music throughout the day, games, and a special
performance by the Dapper Tappers.
Tommy: Gosh, I wish I was born 300 years ago!
Lily: Why?
Tommy: Just think of all the history I
wouldn't have to learn!
What did one flag say to the other flag?
Nothing. It just waved!
The Fourth of July weekend was approaching, and
Miss Pelham, the nursery school teacher took the
opportunity to tell her class about patriotism. “We
live in a great country,” she announced. “one of the
things we should be happy about is that in this
country we are all free.” Trevor, who was a little
boy in her class, came walking up to her from the
back of the room. He stood with his hands on his
hips and said loudly,
“I am not free! I am four!”
June Birthday Party!
Our June Birthday Party was held on Friday, June
25th. We celebrated many amazing years with
Pauline Arroyo, Amparo Marin, Alberto Martinez,
David Ramirez, Mradulaben Sandrani, Lolita Twardos,
& Our Center Staff: Sylvia Luna & Denise Hernandez!
Mr. Turner asked his class on the fourth of
July to list as many of the states as they
could. The students came up with about 40
states. Mr. Turner joked that in his day,
students knew all of the states. One student
raised his hand and said, “Yes sir, but in
those days there were only 13 states.”
A Special Thanks to
our Birthday
