Christmas lights adorn the head of Grayson, 5, as he waits to get back on
the bus Wednesday, Dec. 15, 2021, following a visit to Valley View Assisted
Living in John Day. Grayson and other kindergarten students from Hum-
bolt Elementary School donned festive holiday hats and paraded past the
open doors of the facility.
indergartners from Humbolt Elementary
School brightened the spirits of staff
members and residents at Valley View
Assisted Living in John Day on Wednes-
day, Dec. 15, with a holiday hat parade.
In a Christmas tradition that dates
back a number of years, the kids donned a variety of fes-
tive headgear for a visit to Valley View.
Because of the risk of COVID-19 exposure, the young-
sters stayed outdoors, marching around the outside of the
building to the back patio while the residents enjoyed the
show from inside.
The pandemic precautions didn’t seem to take anything
away from the experience as the kids stepped up to the
open rear doors one by one to show off their holiday hats,
then regaled the residents with Christmas carols before
getting on the bus back to school.

He will bathe in an ADVERTISED TUB, shave with an ADVERTISED RAZOR,
have a breakfast of ADVERTISED JUICE, cereal and toast, toasted in an
ADVERTISED TOASTER, put on ADVERTISED CLOTHES and glance at his
ADVERTISED WATCH. He’ll ride to work in his ADVERTISED CAR, sit at an
ADVERTISED DESK and write with an ADVERTISED PEN. Yet this person
hesitates to advertise, saying that advertising doesn’t pay. Finally, when his
non-advertised business is going under, HE’LL ADVERTISE IT FOR SALE.
Then it’s too late.
AND THEY SAY ADVERTISING DOESN’T WORK?
DON’T MAKE THIS SAME MISTAKE
Advertising is an investment, not an expense. Think about it!
