Dear Students of Room 202 at Bateman School,
Flat Stanley has been visiting with residents at St. Pauls House, a nursing home and sheltered care facility in Chicago. Our residents took Flat Stanley along on a bus ride, they toured Graceland Cemetery. Many of the important people involved in the history of Chicago are laid to rest there…including Daniel Burnham, who designed the layout of Chicago and proposed that the lake shore always be accessible to all the people in Chicago. Marshall Field is buried there as well…you may remember there is a store on State Street that his family helped run…its called Macy’s now!
Flat Stanley then spent some time with our receptionist, helping her greet visitors and family members who came to visit.
Flat Stanley also greeted residents as they arrived at St Pauls House Chapel to attend Sunday morning services. Residents of different faiths attend services each week.
Flat Stanley participated in a Halloween party for the residents at St Pauls. A group of students from Holy Trinity High School, members of the National Honor Society brought costume hats and sang songs, and provided treats and pumpkins for our residents.
Flat Stanly also visited with the Election Judges, when our residents voted in the general election to elect our new president.
As you can see, Flat Stanley has been busy. We are going to keep Flat Stanley busy in the next few weeks: He will attend our Thanksgiving luncheon, share services for Christmas, and help the residents bring in the new year.
