Second Graders Celebrate Thanksgiving with their families

By Melissa Moore-Randall

REVERE – As excitement filled the air with a short week and Thanksgiving on the horizon, second graders from the A.C. Whelan School enjoyed a family Thanksgiving brunch. The annual event was hosted by Second Grade teachers Mrs. Zabilski, Ms. Salinas, Ms. Coyne, Mrs. Nelson and Ms. Andrews. They organized a morning of food, fun and family. Over 100 parents, caregivers, and siblings had the opportunity to have brunch with their second graders. Teachers were overwhelmed with the generosity of the donations by families. Empanadas, bagels, donuts, danish, muffins, fruit, coffee and juices were on the menu. The cafeteria was booming with smiles and laughter as the students enjoyed the special time with their families. Christina Zabilski, one of the second-grade teachers, enjoyed the day with her students and their families.   “It was so nice being able to see the students interact with their families in school. It was also nice to see so many families attending. It is a great annual event.”
