Thanksgiving spirit filled the air in YCQ, as students across grades engaged in meaningful and festive activities.

Fourth graders brought their Social Studies curriculum to life by hosting members of the Shinnecock Nation for an authentic Powwow, featuring cultural dancing, singing, and displays of traditional artifacts. The event truly created an unforgettable learning experience for all.

In second grade, students expressed gratitude through creative projects and heartfelt poems, ending in a festive feast with the help of Grade 6 students.

Mrs. Hoffman and her fifth-grade class spread the Thanksgiving spirit with a vibrant “thankful tree” and a playful “facul-tree,” while faculty and staff shared messages of gratitude displayed on the office door.

Even the Early Childhood students joined the celebration with a-maize-ing corn-themed parties that added cheer and festivity.

YCQ’s Thanksgiving activities highlighted the values of learning, creativity, and gratitude, creating a memorable and meaningful experience for all!
