This year at Sunlake, students had an array of different plans for their Thanksgiving holiday. Hannah Munroe; senior, stated that her plans for Thanksgiving, “…include a trip that my mom surprised me with for my birthday. We are going up to New York City and Canada to go to a Taylor Swift concert, and during the trip we will have Thanksgiving dinner together in New York.” Hannah was excited for this trip as she has been a die-hard Taylor Swift fan ever since she was young. Hannah went on to express that even though she will be uprooted from her home during the Thanksgiving holiday, she is still grateful to be able to spend the celebration with her favorite person, her mother. She voiced, ” I will not be able to have the cherished meal with my extended family but I am eternally grateful that I will still be able to sit down and have the Thanksgiving meal with my mom in New York City.” She is very excited for the festivities of Thanksgiving; “…the food and upcoming memories have me very excited for the holiday.’ Hannah believes Thanksgiving is a crucial holiday because “…it gives you a chance to recognize and appreciate the people you love.”
