Thanksgiving is a major holiday that takes place every last Thursday of November. Businesses such as banks and post offices are closed.

In addition to students who relaxed, there are some who helped prepare Thanksgiving meal.

While families prepared food, some students also helped during preparation. There are different ways students can help. An example would be cooking.
