Turkey Feast 2009

Diane Downend, Diane@edenbridgehomes.com

The Gunn community united on November 19, 2009 for the PTSA sponsored annual Turkey Feast. While more parents than can be counted invested their time and energy to make the event a success, the PTSA salutes Marilyn Putney and Maryanne Welton for their amazing leadership to make this magical day come together. The spirit of Thanksgiving was everywhere. One after the other of students gushed with thank yous and exclamations of “This is the best day of the school year!” To all of the parents I say a hearty, “thank you!” but I cannot possibly say it as skillfully as this following blog post by a Gunn student to HMGGMH….

“As four-fifths of the students lined up for food today (Turkey Feast), I couldn’t help but think: this is amazing. It was unfathomable that Gunn parents cooked delicious turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, pie, etc-all homemade food for 2,000 people. And, probably more, since teenagers tend to eat twice the amount of an adult. It made me smile. Turkey Feast and the parents of HMG students GMH.”

It’s so very true. The students, the teachers, the administration and support staff and the parents of the Gunn community GIVE ME HOPE! Happy Thanksgiving!
