Best of All – Jonathan

What is there not to love about our friend, Jonathan? When you first meet him, you may think he is a quiet individual. Boy, oh boy, once you get to know him though, his wit, humor, and personality cast a sparkle throughout the Playhouse. Since Jonathan is here on a weekly basis for GiGiFIT and Project Pulse, his comfort at the Playhouse has allowed growth to happen. The volunteers know how to motivate Jonathan to achieve his Best of All, while also finding his keen sense of humor a force to be reckoned with. Jonathan has shown us throughout his tenure at the Playhouse that trust and comfort are assets to a strong foundation for achievement.

Erin, our GiGiFIT Coordinator and Program Lead, shares, “Jonathan is so deserving of a Best of All acknowledgement this month- he has been giving 110% in GiGiFIT in every aspect!  Jonathan has been working hard to increase endurance, complete movements with proper form, and he has been a constant source of laughter while doing it.  We are so proud of you, Jonathan!”  

Mary, our Operations Manager and Project Pulse lead, shares, “Jonathan is such a musical individual! The song in his heart is so loud and incredibly beautiful. I know I speak for the entire Project Pulse team in expressing how grateful we are to hear that song each time he is at Project Pulse. Whether Jonathan shares that he’s had a great day or sends us on a roller coaster of ever-changing thumbs-up and thumbs-down expressions, we know Jonathan is ready to build connections, create music, and engage with the world around him. We are so lucky to play a role in Jonathan’s musical journey, while also getting the opportunity to experience his wittiness and kind heart.”

Jonathan, we are so grateful to witness your growth and personality each week at GiGiFIT and Project Pulse. Thank you for shining your light on all those you engage with at the Playhouse. You leave no shadow untouched and make the world a better and brighter place.
