Residents of Sunnyview Nursing and Rehabilitation Center love getting gifts from the community, especially when they come from children, according to activities director Victoria Thompson.

The residents will soon be getting valentines from McQuistion Elementary School, but they will be coming from “100-year-old” students, because they made them on the 100th day of school Monday.

“It’s the 100th day of school so some of the kids dressed up as 100-year-olds; they wore big glasses, fancy shoes, one girl has her grandmother’s walker,” said Nancy Jo Braun, first grade teacher at McQuistion. “They never got to have a room party since they were in kindergarten last year so this is one of the first room parties they get to have.”
