TMLA Adopt-A-Grandparent Club Visits Nursing Home

Santa Claus (Samantha Pepe) and his rag doll helper (Krystal Gonzalez) greet the residents of the Hillside Manor Nursing Home as other members of The Mary Louis Academy Adopt-A-Grandparent Club applaud.

Students at The Mary Louis Academy, Jamaica Estates, maintained a five-year-long tradition this past December when the school’s Adopt-A-Grandparent Club, under the direction of Grace West, moderator, performed a Christmas-Chanukah play and held a sing-along for the residents of the Hillside Manor Nursing Home in Jamaica.

Samantha Pepe as Santa Claus, a rag doll (Krystal Gonzalez) and Adopt-AGrandparent Club members Toni Iurcotta and Camille Lawheud bring some holiday cheer to Hillside Manor Nursing Home residents.
