Children entertain nursing
home
residents
....
.
Heppner first and second grad
Thirteen residents, staff and
volunteers
from
Pioneer
Memorial Nursing Home attend
a Christmas party at the home of
Pioneer Memorial Hospital nurse
Sandi Hanna on Dec. 16. This is
the second year Hanna has
hosted the party.
Amy Jepsen played the harp
and the piano and Bill Kenny
sang a solo. Hot chocolate and
cookies were served Toma
Adams, Doug Dubuque, Evelyn
Sweek and Marj Kenny assisted
at the party.
When child
comes to visit
Children face mixed emotions
switching
homes
between
divorced parents. They may feel
both excitement and anxiety
about visiting the other parent.
The parent being visited also
may experience mixed emotions.
Carol Michael, Oregon State
University Extension agent,
suggests these ways to make the
visg more pleasant:
-Provide some unscheduled time
after your child's arrival. Rather
than ask children to jump into a
flurry of activities, let them
relax, help fix a meal or wash the
car.
-Provide them with an
assortment of postcards and
stamps. School-age children and
teens generally are very attached
to their friends. Postcards and
occasional phone calls can help
them keep in touch.
-Establish some basic rules at
the beginning and outline the
expected
schedule.
Accommodate the child's regular
schedule and routine as much as
possible, but help your child
understand that rules and
routines will differ somewhat.
Home school children also
came to the nursing home to sing
Christmas carols, accompanied
by Myma Van Cleave on the
piano.
The kids made cookies and
ornaments for the residents.
e
studcnts
of
Heppner
Elementary School teacher Lea
Calvert also visited the nursing
home. Fourteen children brought
a movie and popcorn.
The nursing home residents
gave candy canes to the children.
