Our Week in Review - November 25 - 29

This week we had our Thanksgiving Feast! We dressed up as pilgrims and headed to the Board room to eat. Thank you to all of the families who made our feast possible by donating items and your time - the kiddos had a blast (and so did all the teachers who walked by)!
