Over 70 students, volunteers and staff joined together for a pre-Thanksgiving feast in Lincoln School's library. All together we were treated to a wonderful holiday meal that included 2 turkeys, 20 lbs. of potatoes, 10 lbs. or corn, 10 lbs. of green beans, two sheet cakes of corn bread, two HUGE trays of delicious stuffing, cranberry sauce and more!
During the meal played a slideshow of our time together over this past year showing various memories and events that we are all thankful for. 
What was special about this year, and has become a regular tradition of our program, is that more and more students are taking part in the cooking and preparing process. Cooking offers great academic lessons - math, real life situations, problem solving, teamwork. The students we work with are at a great age because they are able to start cooking, enjoy the process and understand fractions and know how to times a recipe.
This is one of the three opportunities GECRC students have been asked to take on a big catering task. First for International Night where students from Nepal, Egypt, Mexico & Burma prepared dishes from their cultural tradition for all to taste. A few weeks later many students gathered together to prepare three winter soups for lunch the following day to show our appreciation for the Lincoln Staff and all they do.
We thank each and every one of you who made our pre-Thanksgiving feast a memory that will last. From the joy you brought to each table, the service you offered in serving food or the sweet treats you provided for dessert. We are all so thanksful for each and every one of you!
