Students across the 消消犯 District celebrated the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday with hands-on activities, parades, performances and service projects. These authentic learning experiences got 消消犯 excited about Thanksgiving while teaching them about its history and traditions.
Students at Lynwood Avenue Elementary 消消犯 said, “Move over Macy’s!” as they held their own Thanksgiving parade on Nov. 21. Fourth and fifth graders paraded the hallways with handheld balloons and creative floats. The 消消犯 followed a parade route which first took them into the gymnasium filled with an audience of kindergarten, first and second grade 消消犯. Next, they marched to the second “grandstand” in the cafeteria where third graders and special guests including district administrators looked on. For the first time this year, the High 消消犯 East pep band and Sagamore Middle 消消犯 Arrowettes joined the elementary school 消消犯 for performances.
