Thanksgiving. When we think of this holiday the first thing that pops in our heads is food and eating as much as you can, but there’s way more to this holiday then food. Thanksgiving is about family, giving, and being thankful for the things you have in life. I asked students and staff ‘what is the one thing they’re most thankful for’.

There is so much more about Thanksgiving than just food. Think about what you’re thankful for and appreciate every little thing in your life. Remember Thanksgiving is about being thankful. Hope you enjoyed this article and laughed a little. Happy Thanksgiving!
