New Vitae Wellness and Recovery Enjoys A Paper Airplane Contest for Residents

September 15, 2020

On August 24th, 2020, New Vitae Wellness and Recovery offered a fun contest for residents at each of the residential sites.  Titled, “Time to Soar,” the activity provided an opportunity to create, decorate and fly paper airplanes to compete for prizes.  Trophies were given to three residents at each site whose planes flew the longest, with ribbons awarded for the three planes with the best decorations at each residence.  Additionally, everyone was in competition to win a pizza party for his/her home site or zone!

After utilizing staff assistance to research the process to create a far-flying plane, entries were decorated with eye-catching bright colors and messages of hope.  We hope you enjoy our photos of the day’s events and consider having your own contest!  The top winners from each site are listed below:
