Enduring Love at Atria Glen Cove

Meet The Maddens

John and Carole met in grade school, were sweethearts in high school, engaged at 18, and married at 21— and that was 61 years ago! John studied agronomy at the University of Massachussetts and became the Golf Superintendent of Engineers Golf Club in Roslyn Harbor. As a golfer himself, he had a 6 handicap and swears that he once came with an inch of a hole-in-one. Carole became a Registered Nurse and worked at Glen Cove Hospital for many years. They retired to Florida where John developed a golf supply business.

When it was time for assisted living, their son studied many communities and determined that Atria Glen Cove was the best. Their beagle Betty loves that it’s pet friendly and she often gives John a workout. John appreciates the convenience of the transportation service. Carole says they enjoy the many activities—live music, celebrations, movies, arts and crafts, and excursions, and she is delighted to let the friendly staf take care of the household chores.

Howell Road Elementary School students read Sam and the Lucky Money by Karen Chin. The story was about a young boy who received a traditional gift of red envelopes that contained “lucky money” commonly known as leisees. After reading the book, Howell Road students crafted lucky red envelopes.

At Wheeler Avenue Elementary School, students celebrated the Lunar New Year by reading The Runaway Wok by Ying Chang Compestine. The Chinese New Year tale is about a boy who went to the market to buy food but came home with an old wok that rolled away from their house. After reading the story, the stu - dents used musical instruments to practice Lunar New Year-related musical pieces to celebrate the holiday.

Some parents and grandparents at Willow Road Elementary School joined students to read aloud various stories and watch videos about the Lunar New Year. Families who celebrate the Lunar New Year brought in cultural items for show and tell. Afterward, students crafted colorful dragons and participated in a musical parade to the joy of everyone present.
