Throughout November, various clubs celebrated Thanksgiving with parties and community service. Best Buddies held a potluck-style feast together in the cafe and shared sources of gratitude before watching the Unified Sports game in the gym. Ms. McBride, the Advisor, set up decorations and roasted a turkey. The World Language Honor Society visited Greater Waterbury Interfaith Food Pantry in preparation for Thanksgiving. They made and handed out sandwiches and turkeys. They also hosted a fall festival as a society to better engage with each other and to try new foods and make crafts. The National Technical Honor Society also hosted its annual “Techsgiving” to welcome new members to the honor society.
