Here at Sherwood Park we live by the phrase "You are always welcome here". This month we are taking the time to focus on the positives in life, taking the time to laugh, and taking the time to appreciate. It's through this positivity that we cultivate the welcoming attitude that makes Sherwood Park special.
September Highlights
September starts with Labor Day, which pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers. We have live music Tuesday September 4th at 2pm, then close out Labor Day week with Bingo and Fabulous Frank on the accordion.
We start to wind down the summer with our last outdoor BBQ for lunch on September 11th, and the Bingo Store is open for business on September 13th, 2pm.

September 24th-28th is Get Happy Week at the Park!
During Happy Week we are looking for reasons to laugh! Residents and staff will have opportunities to hand out "Smile Notes" to those taking the time to make others feel good. What make people happier than cute little animals? Join us to watch the best animal videos and laugh and smile together on Monday, September 24th at 2pm. Tuesday we will be crafting and laughing together, Wednesday we have a special positive Chaplain's Corner and Smiley Ice Cream sandwiches!
Thursday September 27th is Wear Yellow Day! Staff and residents are encourages to wear this happy and bright color. We have Resident Council at 1:30, then our traditional Tiki Bar turns into a Laughter Lounge.
Friday ends with the happiest activity, BINGO! All through the month Bingo players have chances to win Round "Bingo Coins" worth 5 Bingo tokens at the next Bingo store! Now THAT'S a reason to celebrate!
Happiness Week is a reminder to all staff, residents, families & guests walking through the doors to look on the bright side, be gentle with yourself and others, and focus on sprinkling kindness wherever we go.
