The residents of the Chestnut Knoll Retirement Community, Boyertown, received specials guests on December 23 as the Boyertown Senior High School wrestling team made their annual holiday visit. The young men played games and spent time with the residents in both the Residential Care and Memory Care neighborhoods.
Continuing this tradition for the seventh year in a row, head coach and teacher Pete Ventresca (top left in group photo) said, “We make this visit every year to instill a sense of charity and good will within our wrestlers. We try and teach our wrestlers the importance of giving back to the community and serving others. The Christmas season is a great time of year for this visit because it truly reinforces to these young men the fact that giving is much more satisfying and rewarding than receiving.”
The Chestnut Knoll residents had a great time playing games and visiting with wrestlers from the Boyertown Senior High School wrestling team on December 23.
