Here is something to bring a smile to your face! Waltonwood Ashburn, a premier senior living community, showed its appreciation by hosting a graduation for its associates who recently completed high school, college and culinary school.

Waltonwood associates pinned flowers on each graduate and handed out graduation hats for them to wear. One photo shows all the graduates together holding the certificates the community made for each of them.

Executive Director Christopher Leinauer gave a speech, offering words of encouragement to the graduates and thanking them for their hard work during this difficult time. The graduates celebrated by tossing their hats into the air. They ended the day with individually packed sweets made by the culinary team at Waltonwood. The community wanted associates to know they are proud of them for their accomplishments.
