Thanksgiving Meal with a Love One
Mrs. Kincaid worked really hard preparing table settings and our students helped with decorating the placemats in preparation for our special guests. Of course our food service staff ran the meal line so smoothly, and our students had the opportunity to sit, enjoy, show off a special someone in their life. Thank you SMGS Family for making this event so meaningful every year!
