Team Life Long Learning:Spelling Bees

Fun and Function

Program design by

Sister Christine Doerger

Spellers…spellers!!! We’re looking for those residents who enjoy spelling and would like to gather to have some fun with WORDS. Each area (independent, assisted care, health care) will have its own spelling club run by Sister Christine. If you are interested, pick up the spelling lists from your activity areas to get an idea of what we’re studying. Sometime this week, the earlier the better, let Sister Christine or Joanna or Sister Pat or Rhonda know that you are interested in being a member of this fun and challenging club. As the time goes on, we may even be challenged by each other to sooner or later discover who St. Leonard’s best speller really is! On March 24 each area will have their own little spelling bee—the first of many. Sister Christine has welcomed all residents to the beginning of a new adventure at St. Leonard--Spelling Bees! This is a way to challenge residents intellectually while, at the same time, allowing them to have fun with words. This wonderful and exciting experience will aid our facility in becoming the most vital, healthiest community in the country! (cartoon by Gary Larson)
