Sixth Grade Students Spread Cheer to Senior Citizens at Ozanam Hall Nursing Home

On December 29th, twelve of my friends and I went to Ozanam Hall to perform a holiday concert for the residents. We chose Ozanam Hall because my grandma lives there. As you know, Mrs. Drosman’s class went to a nursing home to play music for them. My mom, Denise Morfesi, went on our class trip and that gave her the idea of performing a concert for my grandma’s nursing home. It was a lot of fun. All the residents enjoyed it so much. We even saw some people getting out of their seats and starting to dance. We also saw some wheelchairs rocking! When we were finished, we gave each person a flower. We made so many people happy that day. And we all enjoyed it so much. Thanks to my friends…Laura Bennet and Josephine Accetturi on the flutes. Victoria Pitz, Alyssa Jacobs, Olivia Demiglio and Kaite Young played the clarinets. On the saxophones were Mary Pierce, Jenna Turato, Victoria Pitz, Alyssa Jacobs and me, MIkayla Morfesi. Our trumpet players were Jeannine Impellizzieri and Keva Moore. Brenda Darcy played the bass guitar, and last but not least, Jessica Sorrentino on the drums. It made us feel great to see smiles on their faces. This trip was amazing, and I will never forget it and neither will my friends.
