As we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving, I want to thank each of you for your hard work on behalf of our students. I continue to be encouraged by the progress being made in the classrooms and throughout the buildings. I believe we continue to build a organization that lives out the belief that with our help, each and every child can achieve at high levels no matter their backgrounds. My Thanksgiving wishes for you are that you know how much value you bring to WAPS every day, and how much you mean to our children and to me. When you perhaps pause for a moment of reflection tomorrow, I hope that you too find inspiration in the blessings surrounding you.

In 1621 November 24, Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag indians shared a feast in Autumn for the celebration in the colonies. For about 2 centuries America has celebrated Thanksgiving. It is a holiday for everyone to give thanks and the pilgrims. In 1621 November 24, Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag indians shared a feast in Autumn for the celebration in the colonies.
“Thanksgiving Myths” Two myths are “The Pilgrims celebrated Thanksgiving every year”, “The Wampanoag brought popcorn to the first Thanksgiving feast”. The truth in these myths are that the Pilgrims did celebrate thanksgiving. That the Pilgrims came to America to for land and for the thanksgiving part. I think people believe this.
I believe that, to this day, Columbus day should be celebrated. Although Columbus might not have done a lot of the amazing things we've said he's done, Columbus is still apart of our history and has still done some great things in the past. Columbus Day is a U.S. holiday that commemorates the landing of Christopher Columbus in the New World on October 12, 1492. Although they later found this not to be true, Christopher is still a very important person to this society.
However, is that really true? Safran Foer explains that turkey wasn’t part of Thanksgiving festivities “until the nineteenth century”, as well as other foods associated with the holiday, such as cranberries and corn (250). No one can’t say that they’re eating turkey because of tradition if it wasn’t eaten until two centuries after Thanksgiving. If Americans want to use this reasoning, they should be eating bean soup, which is believed to be served at the actual first Thanksgiving in the late 1500s (Safran Foer 250). Furthermore, even if turkeys were eaten at the first Thanksgiving, despite not becoming a tradition for 200 years, the turkeys eaten then were nothing like the turkeys we eat now.
This quote is said a lot during the holiday that we are in now, Thanksgiving. It is telling us that no matter how hard things really seem to be, there is always something that we can be thankful for. For example, if someone is having a rough time everyday of their life struggling to stay alive and healthy, they do have something to be thankful for. The people everyone sees on the streets asking for money have something to be thankful for. They should be thankful for having the chance to be alive at that moment.
Thanksgiving is a big deal to Americans,it’s a holiday where you get together with your family and celebrate what you are thankful for. Everyone celebrates Thanksgiving in there own way. Everyone has their own traditions,and foods. My Thanksgiving is very different from others,but it is also similar in some ways.

Together with Alouette, I want to share three easy ways you can keep it together this Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is always big for us.

Martha looked at the myth of Thanksgiving. The idea that an entire family would happily get together for a huge meal. The family will think and talk about everything that they are thankful for. This is heavily discussed in elementary schools. As a child I remember my teacher suggesting that at dinner we should go around the table and have each family member say something that they are thankful for.
