Let Us Give Thanks

The first through fifth grade students enjoyed an enormous Thanksgiving feast with turkey and all the trimmings, thanks to gracious parents who baked, boiled, basted, and mashed to prepare the special meal.  The students arrived to the gym, which had been transformed into banquet seating and a full buffet, wearing pilgrim hats and Indian feathers.  Preparations for the event were possible due to our older Saints students who volunteered and assisted in setting up the tables, decorating, making the pilgrim hats and Indian headpieces, and most importantly, helping the students to theirs seats with their Thanksgiving feast plates piled high.
It is a day like this we each remember all of the wonderful things we have to be thankful for this year.  We are thankful for our students, our parents and families, our teachers, and the chance to gather together each day to praise our Lord for all of these blessings.  A special thanks to all of those families who helped make the Thanksgiving Feast a delicious success!
