Story & Graphic by Reagan Hill – Staff Reporter

 With Thanksgiving break approaching, many teachers and students have made plans to spend time with their family and friends, surrounded by tons of love and good food. Leza Palguta, English teacher, plans to host family and friends for a huge gathering and spend the rest of the time catching up on sleep and enjoying preparation for the coming holidays.

   “I love that we’re all together, and [her boys and their families] spend the whole time there,” Palguta said.

   The Thanksgiving season brings many opportunities to come together and share a lovely meal with each other. There are many specialty dishes prepared that often carry fun memories or excellent tastes.

   “I love green bean casserole, and I only eat it once a year! Seriously, why can’t we make green bean casserole for Sunday dinner?” Palguta said.

   Although food is a crucial component of many Thanksgiving gatherings, most people often forget the true meaning and significance of this time of year. 

   “I think Thanksgiving is so underrated… It’s not even about the food, it’s about taking that time to stop and pause and go ‘even though things are hard, I have so much that I should be thankful for in my life,’” Palguta said.

   With the true meaning of the season in mind, this upcoming break is sure to create lasting memories.
