Join us for a special St. Patrick’s Day celebration with our Grandfriends at Eastcastle Place, a nursing and retirement home located on the upper east side of Milwaukee. We love the opportunity for people of different generations to interact and have fun together! Children of all ages and abilities are welcome.
Activities
Caregivers and children will have the opportunity to watch a 30-minute Irish Dance performance by Cashel Academy of Irish Dance. The dancers will even teach everyone how to do an Irish Jig! After the show, families will have the opportunity to chat and get to know our grandfriends at Eastcastle, bringing youthful energy and joy. We will enjoy a St. Patrick’s Day treat and work on a holiday-themed craft together.
Impact
Allow children to interact freely with the residents. By simply showing their unique personalities, our children will have a positive impact on the residents, bringing them joy and smiles. And our children will learn about patience and respect and how friends can be made at any age!
