RCES Celebrates Thanksgiving with Three Banquets
Over the period of two days, November 21 and 22, more than 750 students, family and students guests, faculty and staff celebrated of Redwood Christian Elementary celebrated Thanksgiving at their annual Harvest Day Banquets. Parents provided a wide variety of food dishes to share, including turkey, chicken, spareribs, pizza (a student favorite!), pasta and so many desserts.
Miss Megan Sinisi, Redwood Christian Elementary Principal, opened the lunches reading Psalm 103, pointing to God in whose presence we find fullness of joy. These lunches gave the students and their guests the opportunity to thank the Lord for His many blessings and enjoy time together with family members, in addition to the families of the other students. Parents helped with set-up and cleanup for the three banquets as well as preparing all of the delicious food. All present enjoyed gathering together for a great feast and time of remembering the real reason Thanksgiving is celebrated - to give thanks for the many things so easily taken for granted.
Principal Megan Sinisi stated “I look forward to these two days every year. Not only is there an abundance of delicious food, but we get to have rich conversation, too. So often we are hurried and distracted at drop off or dismissal times that we rarely get to just chat and truly hear how the people in our community are doing. Today we shared our blessings around the table and one of God’s greatest blessings to me is our amazing faculty, staff, students and parent community.”
