ACU Students invite primary school children to Thanksgiving lunch

Last Tuesday a group of 4^th grade children celebrated Thanksgiving with students from Abilene Christian University (ACU). Thanksgiving is a harvest festival that is celebrated in both Canada and the USA. In the USA, Thanksgiving takes place on the 4^th Thursday of November. On this day, families gather to give thanks and enjoy a feast of turkey, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie and many other traditional dishes.

The ACU students are currently spending a semester abroad in Leipzig and generously prepared a feast of delicious, homemade dishes. After the meal, the kids made a turkey craft and wrote down what they were thankful for. Finally, the children joined the students outside for a game of American football before heading back to school.
