Talk About It
Primrose School
Preschool Students
The residents and children had a great
time working together. When the crafts
were finished, we moved across the
room and resident, Nita Bankston,
read a special Valentine story to the
children.
Holly Metcalf
Executive Director
Oh, Spring is surely
coming,
Her couriers fill the air;
Each morn are new
arrivals,
Each night her ways
prepare;
I scent her fragrant
garments,
Her foot is on the stair.
~John Burroughs

helped each other make Valentine

In 1949, Sybil met Bill Bryant and they

Bill hiked and went camping every
chance they got, visiting many
campgrounds. Sybil’s favorite place
to travel is Destin, Florida.
Sybil has always wanted to be able to
learn to play piano and sing. She
would also like to serve at the
