As we are closing down our summer semester of

Watermark University it is time for us to be looking forward

to our fall semester (September-December), which will be

starting very shortly. With that being said, we are looking

for some Residents to invest some of their time and

consider teaching a class for this upcoming semester. It is

simple and easy to do. Just ask any of our Residents that

currently teach and they will tell you that it is the best

decision that they have made to start sharing their

passions and interests with other fellow Residents and

Associate through the Watermark University Program. If

you are interested in venturing out this semester and

teaching a hobby based interest to share with others, then

come see Jason or Karol in the Community Life Office and

we will help you to plan out your class and get you ready

to start teaching. We look forward to seeing what amazing

ideas and opportunities that we will create for this

upcoming semester of Watermark University. If you have

been wondering if you have what it takes to teach, we

can help to assure you that you are right for this

opportunity. So, don't delay and come sign up today! You

Watermark Universitywill be glad you did! Thank you for your

consideration and willingness to learn and grow

together.

ZOO OUTINGZOO OUTING: Penguin March & Stingray Bay!: Penguin March & Stingray Bay!

Join us at the Kansas City Zoo to see a rare treat

of the Humboldt Penguins and their monthly march

around the Helzberg Penguin Plaza at the zoo. As

part of keeping up the traditional migratory instincts

of these aquatic flightless fowl every month the zoo

takes the penguins for a group walk around the

plaza to flex some of their traditional tendencies. It

is an amazing experience to have the penguins

walking in a synchronized group that in the wild

would range to flocks in a couple hundred

thousand or more. In addition to the March of the

Penguins we will be visiting the newest addition

from the Helzberg family at the zoo, the Stingray

Bay open-air aquarium that allows for you to pet

and feed the stingrays as they swim about. These

two personal interactive experiences are a rare treat

to do at two separate occasions let alone all in the

same day! Admission to the zoo is $15.00 per person

and includes all exhibits park wide. Additional

transportation packages can be purchased for a few

dollars more which will provide transportation on

the train, tram, and sky safari. Prior to our trip to the

zoo we will be having breakfast at First Watch in

Independence to enjoy a delicious farm-to-table

breakfast. Take this opportunity to join us for a fun-

filled summer outing and hands-on animal

experience at the Kansas City Zoo.

THRIVING | WELLNESS CORNER | CHEF'S CHOICE | MONTHLY CALENDAR

SPECIAL EVENTS | THE BUZZ | OUT AND ABOUT AND MUCH MORE!

Taking the community by storm we

have seen this busy bee working

her way up and down the hallways

cleaning rooms, sweeping halls,

and cleaning bathrooms, but it is

more than just her polished floors

or her glimmering windows and

mirrors that capture a luminous

reflection. In fact, set aside the

wonderful job that she does what is

more notable is her cheerful

disposition, her joyful jump to say hello, and her all about beaming

radiant smile! If you haven't had the pleasure of meeting Mrs.

Janae Johnson, then let us formally introduce one of our newest

Housekeeping Associates. Our lovable housekeeper brings fresh

scents to the apartments and community, but most captivating is

her smile, and its ability to return the same response on the faces

of everyone she meets. It is without doubt that she take great pride

in what she does, but has a compassionate heart too. She would

undoubtedly say that this is attributed to her upbringing in the

little-big city of Des Moines, Iowa...from which Janae originally

hails. In just the short while that you have been hear with us at

The Fountains of Greenbriar you have become a resounding

murmur on the tongues of many delighted Residents and

Associates. We embrace Janae's jovial spirit and thoroughly enjoy

seeing her thriving disposition for her job well-done! Her

enthusiasm for ensuring that our Resident and her fellow

Associates are positively affected by her presence is without doubt

her contributing success to our community and thriving for all. For

this we would like to recognize Mrs. Janae Johnson. Kudos!
