2018 Martin Luther King Day of Service. We were lucky to have students from the Upward Bound program at East High. What a great group of kids. So glad they chose Sunnymere for their ‘Day of Service’. In the morning, Renee organized a very fun Trivia game, and in the afternoon, residents and students played ‘Left Right Center’! A lot of fun–a lot of laughs!
