It’s back-to-school time, and LHP communities are celebrating with a variety of fun events to get everyone excited for the new school year.
In Knoxville, The Pines hosted an awesome back-to-school event with a carnival-style celebration. A small army of volunteers from Cedar Brook church and The Pines staff teamed up to make it happen. Residents enjoyed hot dogs, fajitas, and halal options, along with plenty of games for the whole family. The fun didn’t stop there—a Kona Ice truck even showed up for dessert! Big thanks to everyone who supported the community, especially with a backpack drop-off to help local kids gear up for the new school year.
In Knoxville, Ridgebrook had a cookout with all the trimmings: hot dogs and hamburgers with cheese, along with chips. But back-to-school events aren’t just for our family communities. Many seniors have grandchildren who visit often and sometimes step in as caregivers. A social event that includes back-to-school resources is a great way to support these residents and their families while celebrating the season together.
Last week, Buffington Towers in Little Rock hosted a joint resource and back-to-school event where residents had access to everything from haircuts and nail care to healthcare services and school supply giveaways—all in one spot. About 30 residents enjoyed the services and caught up with neighbors, and the evening ended on a sweet note with classic root beer floats.
Meanwhile, at Frank Callaghan in Oak Ridge, residents enjoyed an outdoor party with hamburgers and hotdogs, along with a small pool for the kids.
