Spearly Sidekicks




Every September, the Alive In All Seasons theme is Friendship: Spread Your Joy.  Here at the Spearly Center, we have the Spearly Sidekicks program.  Each staff member is paired with a resident and acts as the resident’s Spearly Sidekick, providing advocacy, encouragement and companionship.  Every September we celebrate the Spearly Sidekicks program with our annual Spearly Sidekicks Photo Shoot, where residents and their Sidekicks dress up in wacky costumes for portraits.  This year, Jerry Lucero enjoyed his picture with his sidekick Cathy so much, he decided to re-create it in a drawing.  Jerry, commenting on the program, stated, “Cathy makes me laugh when we hang out.”  Cathy replied, “I enjoy hanging out with Jerry.  He makes me smile, and I love watching him do his art work.”
