Lynn District, Essex Juvenile, and Clerk’s Office staff as well as Court Officers joined together to break bread in celebration of the 10th Annual Massachusetts Trial Court’s Cultural Appreciation Week. The luncheon last Monday at Lynn District Court featured a feast of cultural dishes and desserts. The event culminated with treats from Cuckie’s Ice Cream truck.

"Everyone was invited to fellowship, share a meal and have meaningful conversations," said April Anderson, Essex Juvenile Court Probation Officer and Cultural Proficiency Champion, who helped organize the event.

Staff from the Lynn court were among a number of court  and Community Justice Support Centers employees who hosted Cultural Appreciation Week events. 

The Massachusetts courts host the largest and longest running celebrations of community, culture, diversity, and heritage than any US Court.
