Jackson-Feild residents celebrate Black History Month
|
Working to ensure that every holiday throughout the year is
recognized with a special meal, Jackson-Feild's Director of Food
Services Cynthia Easter pulled out all the stops for this Black History
Month celebration. Easter and her staff prepared a dinner of fried
chicken, homemade macaroni and cheese, strings beans, rolls and apple
cobbler that was thoroughly enjoyed by residents and staff alike.
Days like this are just one of the many things that set
Jackson-Feild apart from other treatment facilities. In addition to
receiving the treatment they need, the boys and girls are provided
opportunities to explore topics of interest as a group, share their
talents, and celebrate holidays that are important to them.
