Happy Thanksgiving!

We have been getting ready for the holiday in Room 205! 

First the second graders and their seventh grade buddies prepared and presented the Thanksgiving prayer service to the whole school on Monday. Each class was responsible for writing on one fruit or vegetable why they were thankful for the word written on it. After everyone presented their foods, they were added to a large cornucopia on the wall.

The students celebrated an all-school Mass together this morning. Prior to the beginning of the Mass, the second grade class presented all of the canned goods that were donated for the St. Sylvester food pantry. A large section of the altar was filled with all of the wonderful foods and treats families brought in over the last month. Thank you to all of the families who participated by sending in the much appreciated food donations.

Everyone should see the turkeys that the second graders worked hard on this afternoon, as they were sent home today. The students used their footprints and handprints to put together a colorful turkey decoration. They also thought hard about all of the things they are thankful for in their lives to write on the feathers. I hope that this decoration helps brighten up your home this season!

Lastly, I would like to wish each and every one of you a happy and healthy Thanksgiving!
