Thanksgiving program

Students at St. Martin's Lutheran School celebrated Thanksgiving with a sit down dinner.

But perhaps the traditional fare could have used some modern additions.

"Maybe a blueberry muffin or a donut," said 10-year-old Connor Scott.

Said 5-year-old Jack Cratty: "Fish sticks, because I just like fish sticks."

No fish was served, but then there was no need. With the faculty and about 35 parent volunteers contributing their cooking, there was enough food to feed all 250 people who gathered in the church gymnasium...

The holiday story has very litte to do with indians in comparison to that of the creator God and His provisions to the pilgrim's. And, their heartfelt gratitude in light of the previous winter when many died.

I find it very weird and disheartening that NO where in this story is it expounded on whom thanks was given. I thought at least a Lutheran School would include just whom we give thanks to. After all, Thanksgiving is a VERY Christian holiday.
