Thursday night we had Thanksgiving at Canvas and it was wonderful! We put out long tables and decorated with Fall-type decorations. Everyone dressed up and students began arriving at 7pm. We had appetizers in the back room and everyone gathered there while waiting to eat dinner. Once everyone sat down, we served them a traditional Thanksgiving meal including turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, and more! Many students had been to Thanksgiving at Canvas last year, but there were loads of new students as well! We watched a short video on the meaning of Thanksgiving and had a few students share what they were thankful for. Then we served apple pie and everyone hung out until late. It was a great opportunity to meet students and talk about what we are thankful for. Friday morning after our staff meeting, we cleaned up the Thanksgiving decorations and put up the Christmas decorations! We have three weeks left in the term and we wanted to celebrate Christmas for as long as possible! Here are some photos from Thanksgiving:
Ready for the celebration to begin!

That looks like the Great Room in Hogwarts! You guys really worked hard. I bet the kids really loved it. Free delicious food is hard to pass up for university students.
