Dorothy Lander Shares Letters and Pictures from Floridian First Graders!

Sharing Finger Lakes Foliage with Young Floridians turns into a Treasure of Letters and Drawings!

KristenMeyer 0 1980

Last Fall, Dorothy (Dot) Lander collected a box of colorful leaves and sent them to her daughter, Janet, who is a 1st grade teacher in Florida. Janet's students, many of whom had never been exposed to the beautiful Fingerlakes colors, responded in a most thoughtful way.  They drew pictures and composed letters. Dot was so surprised and overcome with joy when she opened the package. 

These pictures and letters have been displayed in the CM living room this week for all CM residents, staff, families and visitors to enjoy! A big thank you to Dot for sharing with all of us.  We have been in awe of the thoughful messages, the drawings, and the amazing penmanship coming from such young children.

"Reading is to the mind, like exercise is to the body."
Lynne Standish

"Reading is to the mind, like exercise is to the body."

A number of Ferris Hills residents have been working hard to reorganize their library. They are sorting through books, and donating those that haven't been checked out in many years. New books have arrived and are organized by fiction, non-fiction, poetry, etc.  There is a special section for magazines, and also paperback books. 

These worker bees noticed that some of the book shelves were in need of extra support.  All they had to do is call on the Ferris Hills woodshop for the remedy!  Measurements were taken and shelf support dividers were made to resolve the issue!  Thanks to a kind donation, we even have (5) Kindles available to rent! 

Stop by soon and check out the many positive changes in the library.  Don't forget to thank the library ladies for their hard work!
