Star of the Week: Jessica

Star of the Week: Jessica
Jessica's favorite thing about being star of the week is getting to go grocery shopping with Billy and Theresa. She's a great shopper! Jessica's BrightStone favorites are working in consumables, bowling, playing games, and playing ball at the YMCA. In her leisure time, she enjoys the Disney channel, eating at Red Lobster, and playing with her dogs, Max and Daisy. Way to go, Jessica!

We helped Al celebrate his 26th birthday this week. He took one quick look in the birthday box and picked out a movie! Movie watching is one of his favorite leisure activities. While at BrightStone, Al enjoys working in consumables, computer activities, and playing ball. We know his family would want us to mention that LSU is his favorite football team, too. Congratulations, Al!

Tara was so cute on Monday at the Halloween party - she was dressed up like Raggedy Anne, and she looked great in her costume! Tara, like Kelly M., is a die hard BrightStone girl, and she treasures each of her BrightStone friends. Tara's favorite BrightStone activities include music with Judy, grocery shopping, cooking with Theresa, and working in mixes. Way to go, Tara!
