THE FIRST THANKSGIVING

On Tuesday, November 20 we will have a Thanksgiving gathering with our 2nd grade Native American Friends. Our activities will begin after lunch at 12:15. The children are making costumes here at school. Even Mrs. Koerner and Mrs. Seirer will be in costumes! If the children have something black or gray they can wear that day it would work fine. Girls will need to have hair down so that the bonnets will fit. Also, if the girls have an apron at home they may bring it to school that day. I have several extra aprons here at school. We are serving apples, popcorn, cornbread, homemade butter, and apple juice at our feast. Please do not send in any baked items or extra food. We will have plenty for the feast. Those called who are helping with food for this activity are:

Carol Maurich – 2 jugs apple juice
Michelle Hawthorne – 1 jug apple juice
Petra Hatcher – I box microwave popcorn
Gene Ford – 1 jug apple juice
William Brennan – 1 bag apples
Kerry Severson – 1 bag apples
Mrs. Seirer – plates , cups and napkins

Monday, Nov. 19 the class will be walking to the museum to learn more about Thanksgiving and view the Veterans exhibit. Tuesday, Nov. 20 the children will read at the Nursing Home in the morning. Please remind your child to bring books to share with their reading buddy. Wishing you all safe travels and a blessed Thanksgiving with your families!
