Friday was the best Thanksgiving Feast our Kinder classes have had yet. Due to the District cutting PE this year, we were afforded the opportunity to use the Cafeteria for our feast, and that made everything so nice. We had plenty of space to set up all the yummy food the families brought, we had enough tables for all of the students and their families to sit and enjoy their meals, and everything just ran smoothly. Ms. Dawson, Mrs. Laurie, and myself want to extend a very sincere thank you to all of the families that helped in making this Feast so amazing!! You all outdid yourselves with the great food, and the extra work you put in setting things up, serving the dishes, and cleaning up. Without all of your dedication and support, we would never be able to pull something like this off. I am confident that the children learned a little something about the First Thanksgiving, the meaning of Thanksgiving, and now have had a personal connection with the spirit of giving thanks and sharing in the holiday tradition (outside of their family). It brings me great joy as a teacher to share these experiences with my students and hopefully leave some memories that will stay with them throughout their academic futures.
A few of you went above and beyond to give me gifts for the holidays. I want to say thank you for you incredible generosity and thoughtfulness. The gift cards will be shared for happy outings with my family, and the cards were also very nice. You didn't have to do this to show your appreciation. The support and warm words you share with me each school day are thanks enough for a job I am blessed to have.
I hope that you are all enjoying your long Thanksgiving Vacation with your family, and look forward to seeing all of you after the break.
-Mr. Linnet
