Forest Hills of DC by Goodwin Living Hosts 5th Annual Walk and Roll to Celebrate Older Americans Month

05/07/2025

FUN, FUN, FUN! We love that May is national where we celebrate our residents. For our 5th annual national award winning celebration with our community, once again Mayor Bowser, and our DC Council both proclaimed May is “Old People Are Cool Month” in all of DC. Thanks to Councilmember Matt Frumin for kicking us off and sharing his personal passion for senior living residents in DC! We walked, rolled on wheels, and shared our joy with residents and team members. Local students at Sidwell Friends School and Gonzaga High School shared life stories and co-created signs to celebrate the day. Lots of smiles, hugs, laughter, and sense of pride made the day super special.

In honor of Black History Month, we are proud to highlight our resident, 106-year-old Ms. Therrell Smith! In 1948, she opened her ballet school, the Therrell Smith School of Dance, in DC. She trained girls from middle-class African American families and taught there for nearly 70 years. She started dancing when she was just 8 years old. She has been a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority for more than 80 years!
