Residents and middle schoolers recently came together at Emerald Place Memory Care in Glenview, Illinois to participate in a very special event geared to celebrate a popular tradition that many residents enjoyed in their younger years. The Valentine-themed “Senior Prom” was a big hit, held in partnership with students from Our Lady of Perpetual Help.
The festive afternoon featured music, dancing, and lots of laughter and meaningful connections between the generations. Earlier in the day, the students assisted residents in adding a festive touch by making corsages and boutonnieres for prom participants. A photo booth added an extra dose of fun, capturing lots of great, spontaneous moments shared between the young guests and seniors. Finally, the pièce de resistance … the prom king and queen were crowned!
