Another Successful Annual Holiday Community Sing

December 23, 2019

​We are excited that we had such a good turnout for this year’s Annual Holiday Community Sing! Many thanks go out to WB Music Therapy for leading this event every year. We could not be more thankful for their help in bringing holiday joy and happiness to our Growers and supporters. The staff and Growers here would also like to thank Community Aid for their help in providing us a grant to support our Music Therapy program at Hope Springs Farm. Another huge thank you goes to the First United Methodist Church of Hershey who so kindly hosted us for our annual event again.
Our Annual Holiday Community Sing allows the Growers, their family, and everyone else in the community to come enjoy a day of singing holiday classics. The Growers have been working so hard for the last couple months to learn the sign language to several songs they performed at the Sing. Kristyn Beeman and Melonie Walborn from WB Music Therapy made it so much fun for all the Growers, their families, and all the children from all around the community; and as always Kristyn did our favorite Hippo song. We are so glad lots of families came to sing with us and the Growers so we could celebrate the wonderful holiday season. We are already excited for next years!

Hope Springs Farm offers our Therapeutic Music Program weekly to the Growers. Run by Kristyn Beeman, clinical music therapist, the class is a source of confidence, learning, working together and overall good health for the Growers. This program allows for Growers to connect with one another and face challenges together. The class includes listening to and learning to play various instruments. Conquering challenges and learning within the Therapeutic Music program benefits the Growers immensely.
