Above, St. Matthew School students are seen with the Tree of Thanks. This was a joint project between Religious Education and SMS students for November. Each student decorated a leaf and wrote down something they are thankful for. Pictured are, from left: Marlena Wagner, Mark Lewis, Shawntal Tomer and Kenny McKernan. First graders performed a play depicting the First Thanksgiving celebrated by the Pilgrims and Native Americans. Students shared a small feast and recited turkey stories written by the students themselves. (Courtesy photo)
