Shark Week (July 1-6)
Once a year, the Discovery Channel devotes all its air time to sharks. This allows them to set the record straight about how sharks are not the bad boys and must be protected. This also allows people to learn about sharks and how fascinating they are. We will participate this year by learning new shark facts daily and enjoying a Shark Week party with themed snacks.
National Dole Whip Day (Wednesday, July 17)
Dole Whip is a creamy pineapple blend sold at Disney parks worldwide and is the perfect light and fruity snack for summer. Dole is a major canned and frozen fruit brand. In the late 1800s, James Dole moved to Hawaii and overthrew the Hawaiian kingdom, becoming governor of Hawaii before the turn of the century. However, this wasn’t enough for him, so he started the Hawaiian Pineapple Company. It was later renamed “The Dole Company” and sold to another corporation during the great depression. Fast forward to the 1980s when Disney starts selling “Dole Whip” in their parks. And you have got one wild ride.
National Bagel Day (Friday, July 26th )
The bagel is a type of bread with a dense, chewy, doughy interior with a brown, crisp exterior. To celebrate National Bagel Day, we will serve bagels to our staff in the morning and our residents in the afternoon. We will have a toasting station and offer different flavors of cream cheese to top them. We have done this in the past and has been well accepted and enjoyed.
As we practice proper social distancing protocols in our community, we are proud to feature modified programming to continue providing vibrancy for our residents and employees.
