Employee of the Quarter

Congratulations to Sheeana Calliste forbeing named Employee of the Quarter.Sheeana has shown time and time againthat she can be counted on for just aboutanything the Activity Department needs. From picking up extra hours in hercoworkers’ absences, to engagingvolunteers, or even simply helpingresidents carry packages to their rooms,no job task is too big or too small forSheeana to take on. She is the definitionof reliability and dependability as she hasa perfect record of attendance.Sheeana genuinely listens to theresidents’ suggestions and does her bestto honor their requests in her programs. For example, after several residentsexpressed interest in more frequentmanicures and having the desire to get“all dolled up,” Sheeana introduced her bi-weekly Pamper Yourself group to givethem a salon-like experience. Many ofher programs break out of the typical moldof activities for seniors, bringing newexperiences to our residents – such asKaraoke featuring classic rock songs. It isher attention to these small but significantdetails that help keep the ActivityDepartment running smoothly and allowthe residents to enjoy life at Springhouseto the fullest.

George and Ira Gershwin were brothers whoseplayful, witty songs — brimming with rhythmand harmony —epitomized the jazz age. Born toRussian parents who emigrated to New YorkCity to escape persecution under CzarAlexander III, Ira and George initially pursuedparallel paths as lyricist and composer, officiallyteaming up in 1924 to co-create the musicalcomedy Lady Be Good. This was followed by a string of hit Broadway shows —with stars such as Ethel Merman, Fred and Adele Astaire, Ginger Rogers andGertrude Lawrence — including Oh Kay!, Funny Face, Strike Up The Band, GirlCrazy and Of Thee I Sing, which was the first musical to win the Pulitzer Prize forDrama. The Gershwins also spent time in Hollywood, writing songs for moviessuch as Delicious, A Damsel In Distress, and The Goldwyn Follies — andcollaborated with novelist DuBose Heyward on a ground-breaking opera, Porgy andBess. Along with stories about the brothers’ collaborative process, Will and Joebring Gershwin standards to life including “S Wonderful,” “Fascinating Rhythm,”“They All Laughed,” “Love Is Sweeping The Country,” “They Can’t Take That AwayFrom Me,” “He Loves and She Loves” “Nice Work If You Can Get It,” “I GotRhythm,” “Someone To Watch Over Me,” “A Foggy Day,” and “Summertime.”
