They say you can always go home again. We certainly enjoy going “home” each Spring when we visit Mt. Assisi Place personal care home in Ross. Today, we delivered gifts from our preschool families to each Resident and caught up with some of our long-time friends. Our preschool got its start back more than 40 years ago as Mount Assisi Academy Preschool. As the building was being sold by the School Sisters of St. Francis in 2018, we moved to McKnight United Methodist Church, where we've found a whole new family of friends. But it’s always a joy to bring a smile to the faces of these special folks, including Sister Barbara Ann Webster, who started our preschool in a single classroom in 1980, and Sister Eve Blostic, who taught religion with us for more than 30 years. All of the residents were deeply grateful for the generosity of our preschoolers and their families. Because of our ongoing relationship, we are welcomed back each December to stage our 'Holiday Spirit Spectacular' in the Mt. Assisi auditorium.
