Butterfield Partners with Fayetteville Health and Rehab

Each week 3rd and 4th grade students look forward to visiting their elderly friends at the Fayetteville Health and Rehab located next door to Butterfield.  Mrs. Betty Metcalf, a Butterfield staff member, works closely with the Activity Director at FHR to plan activities that bring our students and FHR residents together, establishing sweet and lasting relationships.  Each week the student groups participate in games and other activities with the residents, as well as hosting monthly birthday celebrations with cake or other sweet delicacies from the Butterfield kitchen.  Each week a “good time is had by all” and often sweet tears are shed by both residents and students when it’s time to say “good by”. What a wonderful opportunity for our students to reach out and serve such a deserving group in our community.
