ICYMI, our Easterseals Academy has an awesome Field Day to close out the summer session! The day was made even better with delicious food from a few local spots! Huge thanks to @jpgraziano for the delicious assortment of Italian subs and unbeatable giardiniera and muffuletta. @Originalferrara Bakery, thank you for donating assorted beautiful and tasty cookies and @pompei_restaurants, thank you for the 2 huge house salads with freshly made bread! Thanks for keeping us fueled on such a fun-filled day. We are grateful for the support we received from these local spots and can't wait to visit their businesses for more tasty food.
