Sixth grade Indians arrive for the feast at Piru School. Parents, students, and staff gathered Friday, November 20 for the second annual Piru Thanksgiving Celebration. Over one-hundred family and community members joined Piru School’s staff and students to enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving Feast. The Piru cafeteria staff of Sherry McCary, Alysha Duncan, María Villarreal-Rivas, Ms. Maribel Soliz, Brenda Peterson, and Karen Victor put an extra effort into preparing this lunch to make it possible for so many to share a special meal together. Students made placemats for the seasonally decorated tables and ASB members waited on the tables. Classified and Certificated staff served over 450 meals then joined their classes for the feast. From the happy and contented faces, the celebration was appreciated by all who attended.
