The Spirit of ACR Homes: Meet Our Residents #3 | ACR Homes
Meet Shaina! Shaina is an adventurous and amazing resident here at ACR. Born and raised in Minnesota, a lover of oreos and a good cup of tea, and an avid NPR listener, Shaina used ASL finger spelling (and a little help from her ipad communication device!) to share some fun facts and favorite adventures she's had.
Top 10 fun facts about Shaina:
