Bothell High School Teens Salute Our Female Veterans

by | Jul 3, 2025

Women Veterans Day: Bothell Cheerleaders Turn Kind Words into Big Smiles for Local Women Who Served — and Acti-Kare is honored to hand-deliver every note.

 

Dozens of Letters, One Powerful Message

In honor of Women Veterans Day, the Bothell High School cheerleaders wrote dozens of personal notes to our female veteran clients. Some offered thanks—“Your courage inspires us every day.” Others shared how these women’s service still shapes younger lives. Each envelope proves that a new generation values the sacrifices of women in uniform.

We wanted them to know their service still matters,” the team’s coordinator said.

 

Why These Letters Matter

Many of our female veterans served when women’s military roles weren’t always recognized. A handwritten letter—rare in today’s digital world—can lift older adults’ spirits and help them feel more connected.

 

Delivering Gratitude

This week our care team will hand-deliver the colorful stack of letters (photo above) during visits.  We can’t wait to see the smiles and hear the stories that follow.

 

Want to Join In?

If your club, class, or scout troop wants to brighten a veteran or a senior’s day with letters, artwork, or holiday cards, we’d love to help.  Call 425-419-4452 or send us a note!

 

What Is Women Veterans Day?

Celebrated every year on June 12, Women Veterans Day commemorates the 1948 Celebrating Women Veterans Recognition Day at Acti-Karesigning of the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act, the law that granted women a permanent place in our military. While it isn’t yet a federal holiday, dozens of states now issue proclamations or host events to honor the more than 2 million women veterans living in the United States today

 

A Big Thank-You!

To every Bothell cheerleader who picked up a pen: thank you for turning gratitude into action. You show that community service can start with something as small—and powerful—as a handwritten note.

Jennie Ruemping

Owner

After a transformative experience caring for my mother during her journey with cancer, I found a new mission: helping families in the greater Seattle area navigate the challenges of home care for their aging loved ones.

My husband Wes and I own and operate Acti-Kare Responsive In-Home Care, a locally owned agency with over 10 years of serving families across the Puget Sound region — including King, Snohomish, and Pierce Counties. We bring a shared background in operations, marketing, technology, staffing, and customer experience to a business we care about deeply — not just professionally, but personally.

At Acti-Kare, we are committed to delivering exceptional, personalized home care that empowers families, fosters dignity, and supports seniors in aging in place on their own terms. Everything we do is rooted in compassion, quality, and a genuine understanding of what families go through when a loved one needs care.

If you are a family navigating this journey, a professional in the senior care space, or simply someone passionate about improving the lives of older adults, I would love to connect.
