November 21, 2023: SAS Gives Thanks!
PTA Thanksgiving Celebrations around campus
This year we found new ways to celebrate US Thanksgiving as a school community. All around campus, PTA Volunteers shared Thanksgiving desserts with students and educators in lobbies, cafeterias, and classrooms. Students in every division received Gratitude Cards from their fellow students, and stopped to read messages on the Gratitude Trees in the division lobbies. At the PTA Cafè open house, we served a traditional Thanksgiving meal to parents and educators, added leaves to our gratitude tree, and made new connections. In the cafeterias, students who ordered the special Thanksgiving meal got to experience traditional Thanksgiving dishes. And all over campus we watched as donations piled up in the Give Thanks Donation Drive collection boxes*.
The PTA wishes to thank the many parent volunteers who put on red aprons to help spread Thanksgiving spirit, with special thanks to the dedicated volunteers on the Thanksgiving Celebration team led by Shalyn Yamanaka & Zoe Zhang and the team that planned the Give Thanks Donation Drive, led by Susie Kim & Mamta Panda.
