Sarah Rhine, fifth grade teacher at West Shore Christian Academy.
For the last four years, Sarah Rhine’s class of fifth graders at West Shore Christian Academy has visited the residents on hospice at Brookdale Senior Living.

They would spend some quality time looking at favorite books, singing songs, playing games, and having conversation.

This year was different. This year’s group of fifth graders didn’t have access to transportation to complete the annual tradition.

Instead, they put their minds and hearts together to create a stack of personalized Thanksgiving cards. The students wrote to a hospice patient that they picked and talked about their favorite part of Thanksgiving and a little about themselves, and they extended an offer of prayer.

Please contact Ashley Gounley at Grane Hospice for any further information on volunteering.
