The children and staff of Spaulding Academy enjoyed each other’s company over a traditional Thanksgiving meal catered by Hart’s Turkey Farm Restaurant. It was the first time all the children from the school celebrated the holiday together – and a first for the Dining Services staff members, who could participate without having to prepare the food. There were two different meal seatings to accommodate everyone.

Friends, former employees, and community partners were also welcomed to the celebration. Every attendee was invited to write what they were thankful for on pieces of construction paper shaped like feathers, which were then used to create a turkey display. The children were thrilled with the finished product!

Spaulding Academy & Family Services is grateful for the children and families it serves – and for each of its supporters who strengthen its mission every day.
