The First Grade Houses held their annual Thanksgiving Gathering on Tuesday, November 20th. The holiday celebration included a harvest of food, poetry, and songs. As part of their get together, the children stuffed large turkey boxes with canned goods. The stuffed turkeys were then given to the Yorkville Pantry, which assists many needy families in our city.
