From The Bristal: Nine students from Byram Hills High School recently participated in an internship program at The Bristal Assisted Living at Armonk. During the program, the students learned everything from coordinating exercise routines, shadowing the recreation staff, and simply spending quality time with the residents throughout the day. Starting on May 1, the students committed 30 hours a week for six weeks interning in recreation, memory care and dining services.
