South Butler Primary Center first graders, from Val Brown and Mary Mavero's classes participate in a Thanksgiving feast Tuesday afternoon at the school. The students dressed like Pilgrims and Native Americans, who originated the tradition of Thanksgiving.

First grader Jacob Borland waits to be served his portion of the Thanksgiving feast. Students were served a traditional Thanksgiving meal of turkey, stuffing and other fixings. They learned about the real reason for Thanksgiving, which was established by the Pilgrims who were giving thanks to God for surviving their first year in Plymouth with a bountiful crop they grew using techniques learned from the Native Americans.
