High School Seniors’ Volunteer Day
Yesterday at Warren Center on Gurney Lane in Queensbury, seniors from Lake George High School showed their years of appreciation on the fifth annual, “Senior Give Back Day”. This is the one day of the year where high school seniors from Lake George High School show their appreciation to the community for all of the things that have been done for them throughout their lives. 65 seniors from the Lake George School District visited various locations throughout the community to provide community service as a heartfelt appreciation. From doing busy beautification landscaping and gardening work like cutting back or pulling weeds to serving at local soup kitchens and libraries, these great 17 and 18 year old students do it with much pleasure….and fun.
One of the stops this year was at Warren Center on Gurney Lane in Queensbury where five Lake George High School seniors, along with a teacher and one parent representative, donated their time to wash and re-fill the facilities bird feeders. The Audubon Society was looking to have all of the bird feeders cleaned out and the residents at Warren Center look forward to do it every year. The facility has a number of residents who are bird watchers and the folks at local garden center, Hewitts Garden Center, donated the food. The seniors did an amazing job cleaning and refilling all of the bird feeders. Leadership at Warren Center would like to say “thank you from the bottom of our hearts” to these Lake George Seniors.
“These young ladies did such an incredible job,” said Holly Desnoyers, Recreation Director at Warren Center. “They worked hard while having fun with the water hose. Thank you also to Christina Howe, one of the teachers in the Lake George School District Ms. Lauren Varney, one student-parent who came with the students.”

Care. Support. Positive Outcomes. Centers Health Care.
Centers Health Care provides rehabilitation, skilled nursing and long-term care for people with a wide range of needs. Whether someone is recovering from surgery, managing an illness or simply needs more support than can be provided at home, our staff is there to help.
The goal is not exactly the same for everyone. It may be returning home, becoming stronger, staying independent or simply feeling better and more comfortable from one day to the next. There will be progress, setbacks and difficult days along the way. Our job is to be there through all of it, and to help each patient or resident get as far as he or she can.
Sometimes that progress comes in large steps. More often, it comes in small ones. Either way, every step matters.
Our Steps to Home series follows patients through rehabilitation and the journey from hospital to home:
