Make a card or write a letter to someone in a nursing home.

We will be collecting the cards and letters for delivery to a local nursing home. The card or letter should have a general “Thinking of you” type message. You can also tell them about yourself:

-What are your hobbies?

-Where have you traveled?

-What are you learning about in school?

-Who is in your family?

Drop off or mail your card or letter to: 121 Waltham St. West Newton

If possible, walk or bike there!
