Thanksgiving at Head Start - Novmeber 16, 2009
Submitted by Ms. Diane Hughes

Tuesday Nov. 24th, Head Start will be having a Thanksgiving Dinner for the students and their parents. The menu includes turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, peas and a salad. The parents and children will be eating on placemats made by the students that show what they are thankful for. At dinner, the children, parents and staff will tell why they are thankful.
We are all going through a rough financial time in our country but we can be thankful that we live in a place where we are free to eat what we want, pray when and where we want, live where we want, work where we want, decide what size family we want, and say what we want. We can be thankful for these rights because of our troops. They can’t be home this Thanksgiving so let’s pray for them and be thankful for them. Something I learned from my mother, “If you think you have it bad, just look around, there is always someone else who has it worse than you.” Just look for the good in things and be thankful. In the words of Tiny Tim, “God bless us everyone.”
