WHEATLAND — It was a busy week at the Service for Seniors Activity Center as the festivities started off with a cheerful visit from Renee McKain and Ashley Wilhelm’s kindergarten classes. Twenty-seven kindergarteners stopped by to help decorate Valentine cookies, and to hear a story. Activities coordinator Carrie Kafka read “The Night Before Valentine’s Day” aloud to the children, then they decorated cookies together. “It is so fun watching young and old sharing the simple joy of frosting cookies together,” Kafka said. “As I always say, it’s the little things that mean the most.” Like sprinkles and frosting. 

A Wellness Breakfast was enjoyed by those attending with important information shared by Myiah Bornhoft, RPh (pharmacist) and Sydney Seymour, a pharmacy tech from Banner Health. Eight seniors took advantage of the breakfast. A game of wellness bingo followed the breakfast. 

On Valentine’s Day, 25 seniors came to play Valentine’s Day Bingo and enjoyed special holiday treats such as chocolate covered strawberries, heart-shaped meat and cheese trays, and other fresh berries. “There was a sea of red and pink shirts in the crowd,” Kafka said. “What a good way to spend the afternoon together:  playing bingo and eating yummies!”
