About a month ago, a group of Owego Free Academy students spent the morning cleaning up the courtyard of the Absolut Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation in Endicott. Those students returned on Thursday, December 7th, to decorate for the holiday season. During both visits, the nursing home residents watched the courtyard transform from their windows.
