Although Thanksgiving is an annual holiday,
it is sometimes taken for granted. The meaning
of Thanksgiving is essentially the most impor
tant thing about the day itself. A lot of people
consider this holiday only a vacation; however,
if you remember back to the history lesson you
had in the first or second grade, there’s lots more
to it than we account for. Thanksgiving is much
more than just a family gathering and a great op
portunity to get your belly full. It has a special
meaning that is shared abroad in many different
ways.
Mr. Shaw-" Ajjpreciating the bounty of our land.
Mr. Moran-" It makes me think of the ones who
don’t have much or anything to be thankful for.
Coach Eanes & Mr. Furr- "An opportunity to be
with family and to take time to reflect on what
you have to be thankful for."
Coach KlutU- "We constantly give thanks every
day, but Thanksgiving day is a time for fellow
ship with the entire family. The day is also a
target to come back together as one family.
Mrs. Elizabeth Almond- "Spending time with
my family and appreciating all of the things I
have to be thankful for."
Mrs. Perry- "A time of thanldng God for all of the
blessings He’s given to our family-especially
this year, we have a NEW BAB Yin the family.
Mrs. Wolfe-"FAMILY!"
Mrs. Wolf- "Family reunion, grandchildren, and
just being THANKFUL."
Mrs. Fast- "A time to appreciate my family."
With these ideas in mind, take time out and
think about what you are most thankful for at
Thanksgiving and share some thoughtful feel
ings with the ones you love.

questions and here’s what he had to say.

Good Bread, Good Meat
By Courtney Brown
Autumn, the season of cool autunm days with colors radiating from the changing colors of
leaves, inspires everyone to sit at home in front of the fireplace watching a late Sunday afternoon
football game. Evenmally, long days turn to even longernif^ts. and finally the holiday arrives which
enables all of us to realize how good our life is and what we have to give thanks for. Thanksgiving,
a true American holiday, is November 22 this year. Some AHS students have already been
anticipating their favorite Thanksgiving tradition.
Lionel Efird’s family all eats together and then spends the rest of the day trying to finish off all
the leftovers. Once done, the family sits around watching a football game, belching and getting sick.
Natasha Broadaway’s family traditionally spends Thanksgiving riding their three and four
wheelers along with their horses before uniting for a grand supper.
Brooke Simpson’s family has an annual contest to see who can be the person to eat the most turkey.
Much prestige goes to the victor but to the losers go the heartburn.
Demon Watkins ’ family tradition is eating, and he says you can definitely tell by looking at Quentin.
Pam Carver’s family usually goes to the rest home after Thanksgiving diimer because visiting the
elderly makes them feel special. They sometimes take them leftovers to eat.
Rocky Smith seems to have experienced a couple bad Thanksgivings because he says his family
usually starts about two days early on the turkey because they sometimes mess it up.
Reishana Morrison's family has a tradition of turkey carving. Everyone in the family gets to carve
the turkey from oldest to youngest.
Brian Smith’s family doesn’t have the stereotypical Thanksgiving dinner because whatever he and
his dad catch that day hunting is what they eat.
Chad Ingold goes from one grandmother’s house to the next and by the time he finally gets home
he says he breaks out the TUMS.
Although everyone celebrates the occasion differently, everyone focuses on the reason for the
holiday - being thankfiil.
