…but it’s time to practice gratitude:<\/p>\n

Parents, grandparents, and junior cooks of Division 3, I know I speak for our entire class when I offer up a big, whole-hearted THANK YOU for the sacrifice of time and resources that led to our having an AMAZING Thanksgiving feast this past Friday.  I was blown away by the generosity represented at the table, and also by the incredible cooking skills evidenced in the to-a-dish delicious offerings.  Thank you, thank you – and then once again, thank you<\/em>.  It’s three days later and I am still full… <\/p>\n

All hands were on deck during the set-up: while the Microwave Crew braved the strangeness of being a student in the Staff Room, everyone else was involved in making the room pretty.  There was lots of inventive napkin folding and some very precise measuring of our tablecloth, which was given a very satisfying roll-out from one end of the table to other – exactly<\/em>.  Because Math. <\/p>\n

In the torturous half-hour before eating, each student introduced their dish, letting us know the main ingredients and why the dish was important to their family.<\/p>\n
