Another new year has just gotten underway, and residents of The Waters of McMurray senior living community officially cheered it in the evening of January 4, 2023.
Nineteen cheerleaders from the Peters Township High School cheerleading squad came to the community and performed some cheers. Several of the residents joined in. The event came about through the personal connections of some of the girls on the cheerleading squad, including squad captain Rachel Zeisloft, whose grandparents, Ruth and Sam Zeisloft, live at the community.
“The Waters of McMurray must be commended for continuing to bring in exciting entertainment for us to enjoy. Our activities director never ceases to find interesting and compelling activities for our pleasure. As the grandmother of Rachel Zeisloft, the Captain of the Peters Township High School cheerleaders, I am thrilled to have the opportunity to watch my granddaughter in person leading a fantastic team of girls with their cheers,” said Ruth Zeisloft.
“We definitely encourage the intergenerational programming here at The Waters. The fact that a few of the girls on the squad have family that reside here makes connecting the generations even more special,” said Christina Szewczyk, Active Life Manager at The Waters of McMurray.
