MOOSE JAW — Phoenix Academy students decided to spread some joy on Valentine’s Day to residents and senior citizens.
Students went to Capilano Court in the morning to hand-deliver Valentine’s cards and carnations to each of the residents and some staff. They also went by the Cosmo Senior Centre and surprised some pickleball players as well.
As part of some of their courses, the students perform community service, so they wanted to brighten people’s day on Feb. 14.
“It was a great morning to see how many smiles we put on faces and to talk to the seniors,” said student Everett Palmer. “Some were very excited to chat and were very appreciative of the visit and gift.”
Said student Paiton Wells, “I liked making their day a bit better, (as) not everyone has family around, so it was really nice spending time with the residents and giving them their flowers.”
