Throughout the Lindenhurst Union Free School District, students honored the Thanksgiving season in a variety of ways.
At West Gates Avenue Elementary School, first-grade students in Doreen Earl’s and Carol Grasso’s classes presented a history of the first Thanksgiving for their parents through poetry and song. While at Albany Avenue Elementary School, first-grade students in Jenay O’Connell and Jennifer Fanno’s classes each celebrated the holiday with their parents in class after presenting their own shows which consisted of songs, poems and jokes. Albany Ave kindergarteners in Janine Wempe’s class took part in Native American-themed centers in which they created crafts such as feathered hats and paper-bag turkeys. At Daniel Street Elementary School, fourth-graders explored Native American culture through the Journeys into American Indian Territory program.
The students of the Lindenhurst Middle School ABLE program strengthened their skills in following directions and vocabulary building as they prepared a Thanksgiving feast in the Bulldog Kitchen. They not only prepared the meal, but practiced important life skills such as kitchen safety and handling food that is hot, setting and clearing the table and washing the dishes.
Students and clubs throughout the district, such as the student council and varsity club at the Lindenhurst High School collected nonperishable food items to create a multitude of Thanksgiving dinner boxes for several families within the Lindenhurst community
