5 Tips For Staying (Almost) Stress Free During The Holidays

Home AloneBy MichaEl arMijo

The holiday season brings many positive memories, but it can also remind me of the pain-ful ones, too. The season is filled with family and friends, but when they are gone the pain of their absence has a tendency to sink in.

Friends have reminded me that you cannot live in the past, but I remind them, "The absence of those close to us who have passed away isn't in the past, it's in the present." Since they were always around to share their love, their absence leaves our hearts aching for their presence on a daily basis.

There are mile markers: the first summer they weren't here to share with us; the first Halloween they weren’t here to dress up in a costume I could make fun of; the first time I didn't receive the usual Thanksgiving invite; and the first Christmas I didn't have to go in search of the perfect gift.

Now, on this New Years Eve, I will struggle without the "I love you, man" drunken phone call exactly at 12:01 am.

Every year for the last 17, I was privileged enough to have someone in my life who shared those things with me: their life, love, passion, experiences, hope, and feelings.

I know today is a new day, and I believe that I am not alone. But when those who share their life with you and give you the feeling that they will love you regardless of your many faults, failures, and shortcomings leave this earth, you cannot help but feel their absence. A piece of you that had confidence and support is now gone. An entity of your life's con-fusing and rollercoaster-like exis-tence is gone.

It feels like your dysfunctional life is like a puzzle, with some critical pieces missing. So you try to find those pieces through other relationships, through new loves and old friends; through random acts of kindness and honesty.

But sometimes it feels like those pieces - which you've worked so hard to replace - have somehow deteriorated; van-ished; dissolved in your hands. You’ve tried to stop it, but it be-came physically impossible. You’ve tried to "will it" differently; "wish it" to reverse. You’ve tried to close your eyes and wake up from a bad nightmare. But each day that bad dream again be-comes a harsh reality.

So I call each day, with or without friends, a day at home. Those that were loved and lost had earned a place in my heart; a room in my self-fabricated, non-dysfunctional home. But now that they're gone, I feel a bit lonely, and a bit to myself. And I just can't stop that feeling that I was left completely by surprise, and left to feel Home Alone.

By Brittany thoMaS

The calendar doesn’t lie and already you may feel the stress starting to build.

The holidays are approach-ing, bringing with them a flurry of must-accomplish tasks such as baking, shopping, entertaining, traveling and dealing with eccen-tric family members who arrive ready to renew decades-old ar-guments.

So how can you endure with-out all those stress-inducing mo-ments ruining your health and sapping your holiday spirit?

First off, don’t stress about the fact you feel stressed, says Dr. Donna L. Hamilton, author of “Wellness Your Way: The Short and Sweet Guide to Creating Your Custom Plan for a Hap-pier, Healthier Life” (www.well-nessyourwaybook.com).

“Stress is pervasive,” Dr. Ham-ilton says. “Stress is a fact of life. And stress isn’t even always bad. Some people need a certain amount of stress to function op-timally.”

At its core, holiday stress is just like any stress, only with burnt sugar cookies and interminable waits at the retail-checkout line involved.

Dr. Hamilton offers these five tips to help you feel less stressed as you navigate your way through holiday hassles.

• Connect with the spir-it of gratitude that marks the season. Research shows that expressing gratitude can help improve mood, increase energy levels, relieve stress and increase motivation, Dr. Hamilton says. So look for reasons to be grateful during the holidays, whether it’s being thankful for good health, a rewarding career, a loving family

or some other positive in your life.• Pause for a moment. Re-

member to take a few deep, re-laxing breaths throughout the day no matter how you are feel-ing. Even positive emotions like excitement and enthusiasm can create stress in the body, just like typical stress emotions such as anger and frustration do, Dr. Hamilton says. That’s why it’s im-portant to periodically do some-thing that promotes relaxation during active times.

• Make sure you get enough sleep. Your body needs its rest and a lack of sleep makes it more difficult to deal with the stressful situations you might face through the holidays. With parties to at-tend, travel schedules to plan and gifts to wrap, it’s easy to trim back the amount of time you normally spend sleeping. Be careful not to let that happen, Dr. Hamilton says.

• Take a walk after you eat. This works two ways for you. It helps relax you and is good exer-cise. “A nice walk is a good way to separate yourself from the pres-sures you might be feeling,” Dr. Hamilton says.

• Dance and laugh often. They both burn calories and help lift your mood. “We probably can’t do enough of either of these,” Dr. Hamilton says.

Many people feel the need to do something for others during the holiday season, but Dr. Ham-ilton says it’s important to remem-ber as you bake pies, wrap gifts or hang decorations that you also must pay attention to your own physical and mental needs.

“You can’t give from an empty cup,” Dr. Hamilton says. “Self-care is a necessity, not a luxury.”

No. 31.“For years, the City Council

and I were proud of being dis-tinguished as one of the 100 Best Communities for Young People and now we are just as proud to be distinguished as one of America’s Best Cities to Live,” Mayor Dennis Yates said. “These accolades are a true testament to the wonderful community we have in Chino. The residents, businesses, or-ganizations, they really do take care of each other and strive to be the best.”

According to 24/7 Wall Street, they reviewed data on 500 U.S. cities areas with populations of 65,000 or more and factored in a wide range of variables to compile the list, including crime rates, employment growth, ac-cess to restaurants and attrac-tions, educational attainment and housing affordability.

Chino received high marks for its low poverty rate, one of the lowest rates in the country. The city also scored well for its employment growth.

The site said, “Chino has one of the fastest-growing econo-mies in the country, with a 6.3 percent employment growth between 2012 and 2014. The city also has a poverty rate of 9.4 percent, much lower than the national rate of 15.5 per-cent.”

the campus’ thousands of dol-lars in energy costs.

According to the city officials, Mt. SAC is required to obtain a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the proposed project. In the Oct. 28 staff report, Mt. SAC of-ficials note that the school “will not be requesting a CUP for the said project.”

City staff contacted the Cali-fornia Energy Commission and the California Public Utilities Commission for support. But both State agencies indicated that they are exempt from local zoning due to the type of project.

Residents are also joining the city’s forces to fight off the project. During the Oct. 28 council meeting, several resi-dents expressed concern over the aesthetics and increased traffic on the intersection of Grand and Temple, and the Council agreed that action was

necessary against the project.The outcry of residents

moved the Council to figure out how to cease construction of the proposed solar project.

In October, the city approved bringing in legal help. The city agreed to hire Leibold McClen-don & Mann to help them fight Mt. SAC’s proposed project. The city’s new legal team will review and analyze Proposition 39 and government codes.

With construction planned in late spring/early summer of 2016, City officials are not backing down. “Walnut fully intends to enforce City Zoning Code regulations, City General Plan guidelines and State and Land Use law as it pertains to any proposed development at Mt. SAC,” city staff reports state.

“The City Council remains committed to safeguard the health, safety, and general wel-fare of the community at large,” city officials added.

others, including State Assem-blywoman Ling Ling Chang and several representatives from the City Councils of several different Cities. Tanaka himself stated that it was “a privilege and an honor” to serve the res-idents of Diamond Bar.

Following the several rec-ognitions for Tanaka, the City Manager reports and com-ments were discussed where James DeStefano thanked the patience of Diamond Bar res-idents and business owners concerning the construction on Grand Avenue over the past several weekends.

During the public comments, a representative from Diamond Bar Youth for Action and Stop At Hunger announced Stop At Hunger’s third annual holiday food drive, beginning on Nov. 17 and ending on Dec. 17. Residents are encouraged to bring nonperishable goods to the Diamond Bar Center, Dia-mond Bar City Hall, Diamond Bar Library, and Heritage Park Community Center. A repre-sentative from the Diamond Bar Public Library announced several upcoming events, in-

cluding Michael Rayner’s Com-edy and Juggling Show on Nov. 19, from 4 to 4:45 p.m.; a Girl’s Only Party on Nov. 21 from 2 to 3:30 p.m.; Baby and Tod-dler Storytime on Nov. 24 from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.; and a fun parents and children workshop on Nov. 25 from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. Concluding the public comments was a representa-tive from Waste Management, who presented the City a check rewarding the City for paint re-cycling.

After public comments were closed, the schedule of future of events was read, which in-cluded the Parks and Recre-ation Commission meeting on Nov. 19 at 7 p.m.; the Planning Commission meeting on Nov. 24 at 7 p.m.; on Nov. 26-27, City Offices will be closed in observance of Thanksgiving, and will reopen on Nov. 30; from Nov. 27-Jan. 1, Holiday Diamond Ride will be opera-tional, and will shuttle residents 18 years or older to and from the Diamond Bar Shopping Centers; the next City Council meeting is on Dec. 1 at 6:30; the Candy Cane Craft Fair will be on Dec. 5, starting at 9 a.m. at 21810 Copley Dr.; the Traffic and Transportation Commis-

sion meeting on Dec. 10 at 7 p.m.; and the last City Council meeting of the year will occur on Dec. 15 at 6:30 p.m.

The Council then approved all items on the consent cal-endar including minutes from the Nov. 3 City Council meet-ing; minutes from the Oct. 13 Planning Commission meeting; ratification of a check register totalling $1,523,335.31; trans-mittal of comprehensive annu-al financial report for the year ended June 30, 2015; and a resolution approving the appli-cation for grant funds from the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District for the fourth supervisorial dis-trict 1996 Safe Neighborhood Parks Proposition funding for Stardust Mini Park ADA retrofit and approving the adoption of a Youth Employment Plan.

Following a public hearing, the Council adopted a resolu-tion confirming a cost report for nuisance abatement costs con-cerning 783 Bowcreek Drive and establishing a special as-sessment and lien thereof.

After Council reports and comments, the Council ad-journed with plans to meet again on Dec. 1 at 6:30 p.m. at 21810 Copley Dr.

Tips to Overcome Life's ObstaclescourtESy of StatEPoint

Sometimes it can seem im-possible to surmount life’s ob-stacles, particularly if you have been dealt more than your fair share. But you can often draw on the strength of others for inspiration and helpful advice, especially those who have gracefully overcome difficult tri-als of their own.

Author and musician Vanes-sa Leigh Hoffman first learned of the power of her own strength as a teenager when she was undergoing chemotherapy while attending school and writ-ing and recording music.

“One can conquer anything he or she puts a focus on,” says Hoffman, who over the course of her life, endured both stage three Hodgkin’s disease and a car accident that left her in a coma for close to two weeks. “After my accident, I had to re-

learn to walk, talk, write, sing and do even the most menial tasks.”

While not everyone will have to deal firsthand with that much tragedy, we are all subjected to unexpected challenges in our daily lives. To help, Hoffman is offering some practical insights for coping with everything, big or small.

• Be inspired: Allow your neg-ative experiences to be your inspiration. For example, Hoff-man has reprised some of the great themes of her life in her art. Her new novel, “Treasure,” a fast-paced trilogy, tells the story of two twin boys orphaned and separated at birth, chal-lenging readers to ask critical questions about how our lives are shaped. “Treasure,” the winner of the Hollywood and Southern California book festi-vals, was inspired by Hoffman’s real life encounter with Presi-

dent Kennedy’s former chef, a mysterious figure in her life.

• Don’t be disheartened: Whether it’s discouraging feed-back from a teacher or a bleak prognosis from a doctor, don’t let the words of experts, how-ever well-intentioned, define the scope of your potential. After Hoffman’s accident, the medical team caring for her predicted that she would never talk, walk, read or write again. Instead of resigning herself to their expectations, she be-came a veritable renaissance woman, as a singer-songwrit-er, businesswoman and au-thor fluent in four languages, amongst other varied pursuits.

• Have goals: It’s easy to let your goals fall by the wayside, particularly when life’s chal-lenges prove time consuming, distracting and demoralizing. By embracing your passions and pursuing those things that

you hold most dear, it will be easier to stay motivated to fol-low through.

More information about the “Treasure: A Trilogy” and Hoff-man, who is donating a portion of the proceeds from her book to St. Jude’s Children Re-

search Institute and Hospital, can be found at www.Vanessa-LeighHoffman.com.

When life gets tough, don’t focus on despair. By allowing endurance and perseverance to rule the day, you can achieve more of what you set out to do.

ultimately it became an unfair fight where the landowner won.”

Tsai said he tried negotiat-ing with the building's landlord over the remaining years on the Bob’s Big Boy lease.

ANAPR was unable to reach the restaurant’s land owners, Garden Grove-based Lakeview Village, Corp.

The diner-style eatery, featur-ing a long, curved counter with wooden bar stools and small booths scattered throughout the dining room, went through a number of chefs, general man-agers and culinary styles as the owner repeatedly worked to capture an audience in the ever-changing demographics of the city, located on a busy intersection on Golden Springs Road and the 60 and 57 free-way.

“There are three reasons that changed our minds in clos-ing our doors,” Tsai said.”First, there was spike in rent. Then, demographics had changing, and the last, the 57/60 freeway construction has already started and has moved a lot of busi-nesses in the area.”

"Diamond Bar has always been good to us. The city coun-cil has also supported us but there was nothing they could do because of the landowners,” Tsai added.

The restaurant attempted a historical landmark petition cam-paign back in 2012, but failed to reach the 20,000 required signatures, Tsai said. The build-ing first opened in 1979, and is 15-years young to be consid-ered for the national historical landmark status, he said.

Now only two Bob’s Big Boy locations remain in California – Norco and Burbank.

Though it was no secret that business wasn’t exactly boom-ing. It was also in dire need of costly repairs, according to cus-tomers and employees.

For the restaurant employees,

the news hit hard. On Thursday afternoon, as if attending a vigil, three of the restaurant’s employ-ees – Gloria Shepherd, Michelle Witt and Marcos Botello - and Tsai, were sitting on the bar-stools along the famed curved counter signing business cards with discount offers to present to customers as they walked up to the closed restaurant.

“It’s been sort of like a wake since the news broke,” waitress Michelle Witt said recently, seat-ed in the restaurant’s barstool. “It was a punch to the heart, is what it was.”

At the counter of the restau-rant, Gloria E. Shepherd, who has been with the restaurant roughly 22 years, recalled her longtime customers and fond memories.

“All four of my grandchildren have birth photos with their grandmother in a Bob’s Big Boy work shirt,” Shepherd said. “It’s just sad and I’m going to miss my customers that I couldn’t even tell we are closed. Hope-fully, they will follow us over to Norco.”

Witt, who has worked as a waitress for five years at Bob’s, said that she is deeply saddened by the closure and most impor-tantly will miss about having to shut down more for the longtime customers they’ve considered family but is ready to bring her friendly service to Norco’s Bob’s Big Boy.

“Between just our staff and customers, this was family,” Witt said. “This is a place where

memories were made. Many people will tell us this is where they had our first date or the place where customers came after a football game. We’ve es-tablished traditions and family here. And now, it’s all gone!”

Tsai said he did all he could to keep the restaurant doors open but the landlord was very diffi-cult to work with.

With nearly 45 employees, Tsai said he was able to get most of his staff transferred to the Bob’s Big Boy in Norco.

“About 65 percent of staff all got transferred over to the Norco restaurant,” Tsai said. “We tried taking care of all our staff. Some already had other jobs and oth-ers were unable to transfer due to the distance.”

“The Norco restaurant was very welcoming and have al-ready started training us a new computer system,” Shepherd said. “Norco is actually closer to my Ontario home. I’m just not sure what the traffic commute or shift I will have but I’ll see what the future holds.”

With tears in her eyes and a shaky voice, “We’ll be here un-til we can to let the customers know we are closed.”

Shepherd, Witt and Botello have remained loyal to the bit-ter end. They say they’re tak-ing shifts at the restaurant to personally inform customers of the closure. They start their new jobs Dec. 1 at the Norco restau-rant.

“Looks like we’re trading in our aprons for cowboy boots and a hat,” Witt laughed.

Cold temperatures can cause health problems. Remember to protect you and your family this season by dressing in layers of light, warm clothing.

5. Be smoke-free. Avoid smoking and secondhand smoke. Smokers have greater health risks because of their tobacco use, but nonsmokers also are at risk when exposed to tobacco smoke.

6. Fasten seat belts while driving or riding in a motor vehicle. Always buckle your children in the car using a child safety seat, booster seat, or seat belt accord-ing to their height, weight, and age. Buckle up every time, no matter how short the trip and encourage passengers to do the same.

7. Get exams and screen-ings. Ask your health care pro-vider what exams you need and when to get them. Update your personal and family history. Get insurance from the Health In-surance Marketplace if you are not insured.

8. Get your vaccinations, which help prevent various dis-eases and save lives. Everyone 6 months and older should get a flu vaccine each year. Be-

Brighten the holidays by making your health and safety a priority. Take steps to keep you and your loved ones safe and healthy—and ready to enjoy the holidays.

1. Wash hands often to help prevent the spread of germs. It's flu season. Wash your hands with soap and clean running water for at least 20 seconds.

2. Manage stress. Give yourself a break if you feel stressed out, overwhelmed, and out of control. Some of the best ways to manage stress are to find support, connect socially, and get plenty of sleep.

3. Don't drink and drive or let others drink and drive. Whenev-er anyone drives drunk, they put everyone on the road in danger. Choose not to drink and drive and help others do the same.

4. Bundle up to stay dry and warm. Wear appropriate outdoor clothing: light, warm layers, gloves, hats, scarves, and waterproof boots. At home, work, and on the road, be pre-pared and prevent injuries too.

sides the flu vaccine, adults should get other vaccines too.

9. Monitor children. Keep potentially dangerous toys, food, drinks, household items, and other objects out of chil-dren's reach. Protect them from drowning, burns, falls, and other potential accidents.

10. Practice fire safety. Most residential fires occur during the winter months, so don't leave fireplaces, space heaters, food cooking on stoves, or candles unattended. Have an emergen-cy plan and practice it regularly.

11. Prepare food safely. Re-member these simple steps: Wash hands and surfaces of-ten, avoid cross-contamination, and cook foods to proper tem-peratures and refrigerate them promptly.

12. Eat healthy, stay active. Eat fruits and vegetables, which pack nutrients and help lower the risk for certain diseases. Limit your portion sizes and foods high in fat, salt, and sugar. Also, be ac-tive for at least 2½ hours a week and help kids and teens be active for at least 1 hour a day.

Be inspired to stay in the spirit of good health!

Cleaning The GarageBy PaStor MarK hoPPEr

S p r i n g c l e a n i n g u s u a l l y happens in March or April. But, it happened

at our house in the middle of November! Maybe we should call it "fall" cleaning?

There are several lessons that I learned while we were cleaning out the garage. The first lesson was that you have to start! My wife and I had talk-ed about cleaning the garage many times, but this time we finally did it. Sometimes the hardest part of any job is get-ting started!

Another lesson I learned was that we tend to keep things we really don't need any more.

As we cleared off some shelves and reorganized some different things, we both asked each other, "Do you know why we have saved this?” Some-times we even asked, "Do you know what this is or what it be-longs to?”

At the same time, I was glad to find some things that we had saved and I had not been able to find. There were sever-al tools and other items that we discovered hidden behind box-es or covered up by other stuff. Nice to find some things that we thought were lost.

I think any cleaning project goes better if you do them with other people. It is harder to get motivated when you are work-ing alone. There is something about working together with oth-er people that keeps you going. And, the conversation makes it

more fun, too.One slogan that we have

used is, "When in doubt...throw it out". My wife said, "Some-times, you just have to let it go". It can be hard to throw some things away, but sometimes we have to make the tough deci-sions. And, some things can be recycled, too.

This may not be the time of year for "spring cleaning" but it might just be the right time for you to tackle a cluttered closet or maybe even the two-car ga-rage. Find a friend and get start-ed. You will be glad you did!

ForgivenessBy nancy StooPS, M.a., M.f.t.

Over my lifetime I have got-ten hurt from time to time. Many times I will

think one way and somebody else will see things differently. I know I hurt myself when I hang on to the hurt when somebody disappoints me or I disappoint another. I have come to under-stand that we are all human and we all make mistakes.

This last year when I had my near death experience I changed. I have always ap-preciated my life but now more than ever. I don’t want to waste time being hurt or angry. I want to learn to deal with things as they hurt me and learn to let go of them. I want to be free of anything that isn’t productive for me.

I guess coming so very close

to death has really changed my perspective and has made me just a healthier being.

I find I keep my relation-ships cleaned up because I have learned how very fragile we are and that we just don’t know when our time here will be over. I have learned that it doesn’t matter who is right or who is wrong as long as we are lucky enough to surround our-selves with those that love us and those that we love.

People seem to believe there is disgrace in admitting you are wrong and just apologizing to another. I am learning it can be a very humbling experience. I don’t want to live my life with any bad feelings between my-self and another human being. I know I am going to make more mistakes and I will be doing more apologizing. I know I will need to be forgiving and hope others can be forgiving with me as well.

I hope this article will inspire

you to forgive or ask for some forgiveness. I hope reading this will help you understand how precious our time here is. I want to spend my time here being happy and peaceful not hurt or angry!

Straight Talk With Danice

By danicE aKiyoShi, n.d.

Q: I am 28 years old and live with my parents. My problem is that my par-

ents are mean to me. When I’m not doing things their way they put me down. They say I am over weight, or that I shouldn’t go out with my friends because my face is having a break out, or that my girlfriend really doesn’t care about me and she’s just us-ing me. I wish I could move out, but we all work together at the

same company and we carpool which saves me a lot of money. I’m getting depressed. Help.

A: When people make com-ments to make you feel off bal-ance or injure your self esteem, they are attempting to manip-ulate you. Usually they have an agenda and are trying to direct you in a way that gives them their desired outcome at the expense of your own hap-piness. You are in a dangerous situation where your emotional health is concerned and you need to discuss this with your parents. If they are not respon-sive, please consider personal coaching so you can build your own sense of personal power and better manage personal conflicts. There are plenty of other roommates who are will-

ing to share expenses without chipping away at your well being. At the age of 28 you should have the developmen-tal skills to restructure your life and still maintain decent family relations. If you are emotional-ly immature and afraid to face adult living, please get some assistance. You will feel so much better being in control of your own life. Good Luck.

Chino Hills School Earns Second National Blue Ribbon

Chino Hills Mayor Cynthia Moran joins Country Springs Elementary School in celebrating their second National Blue Ribbon status.

Evergreen’s youngest students dug into a delicious Thanksgiving feast on Nov. 20 in Diamond Bar.

courtESy of cvuSd

Chino Hills - Celebrating Country Springs Elementary School’s 2015 National Blue Ribbon School award at a cer-emony Nov. 18, Principal Luke Hackney told the students “Re-member Blue Ribbon Champs, we are not finished. We are go-ing to continue to get better and better every day.”

It was the second time the Chino Hills school has earned the highest honor bestowed by the U.S. Department of Educa-tion, previously being named a

National Blue Ribbon School in 2007.

Country Springs was one of just 332 schools in the nation and 33 in the state to receive the coveted award. It was the only public school in San Ber-nardino County to receive the designation.

The award is based on a school’s overall academ-ic excellence or its progress in closing achievement gaps among student subgroups. The schools also demonstrate that all students can achieve to higher levels. The U.S. De-

partment of Education honored Country Springs and the oth-er Blue Ribbon Schools at a recognition ceremony on Nov. 9-10 in Washington, D.C.

Country Springs’ ceremo-ny on Wednesday began with the raising of the National Blue Ribbon Schools flag in front of a large crowd of students, staff members, parents, and local dignitaries.

A video of Country Springs’ administrators, teachers, staff members, and student’s lip syncing and dancing to the music of Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me, Maybe” was also played. The original lyrics were replaced with a song about the school including the re-frain “Yeah, all the people are so amazing. That’s why our school is Blue Ribbon, Baby.”

Fifth-graders concluded the event, singing The Monkees’ “I’m a Believer.” Still excited about the event after it end-ed, the youngsters broke into the “National Anthem” when they heard the music playing on a loudspeaker in the back-ground.

In addition to its Blue Rib-bon award, Country Springs received top honors from the state three times, named a Cal-ifornia Distinguished School in

1999/2000, 2005/2006, and 2009/2010.

Among those attending Wednesday’s ceremony were San Bernardino County of Schools Superintendent Ted Alejandre, San Bernardino County Supervisor Curt Hag-man, Chino Hills City Mayor Cynthia Moran and Coun-cilmembers Ed Graham and Peter Rogers, Chino Valley Unified School District Board of Education members Andrew Cruz, James Na, and Pamela Feix, CVUSD Superintendent Wayne M. Joseph and his cab-inet, and CVUSD directors.

Kindergartners Enjoy Thanksgiving Feast

By KElli GilE

Diamond Bar - Evergreen Elementary Transitional Kin-dergarteners and kindergar-teners enjoyed a traditional Thanksgiving feast on Nov. 20. The youngsters wore pil-grim and Native American pa-per hats as they sampled corn bread, potatoes, cranberry, and pumpkin pie.

"As we feast together, I want you to think of how grateful and how fortunate you are to have this feast!" said teacher Mona Warren.

About 20 parent volunteers were on hand to setting up and serving at the special event.
