Three
hundred students
and family members were treated to an early Thanksgiving dinner at the Morton
Middle School on November 17, 2016. "This was the brainchild of
Principal Patterson," stated Community and Family Partnership
Coordinator Maureen Estes Flanagan. "It was my pleasure to work
with her, staff and volunteers from our parents to make it a
success," she added. "It's a great opportunity for our staff
and all of our families to get together to enjoy a meal," noted
Principal Sheryl Patterson. The meal was made possible by Whitson's Food
Service. Following each of the three seatings and on their way to pick
up dessert at the end of the hall, guests could stop by and speak with
representatives of a dozen local agencies including the Bristol
County District Attorney's Office,,Children's
Advocacy Center, Citizens for
Citizens, Family Service Association,
Katie Brown Educational Program, Partners
for a Healthier Community covering its Soda-Free Challenge,
People
Incorporated, Saint Anne's
Hospital, Samaritans
of Bristol County, SMILES,
and Southcoast Health.
