Hari om everyone,

The Thanksgiving gift baskets were made by the 9th graders today.  Thank you, Shankar, Sangita and Raghav for being there today to guide the children.  We had many other volunteers, adults and children alike, who jumped in and made it a fun, festive event!  Thanks to Nirmala and Rajan for guiding us through the project.

We have made about 60 bags today.  We may have more donations coming in later in the day, so a couple of us are going to come tomorrow morning and make additional bags before the trucks come for picking up.  

Here's a small video with the pictures that were on Kashi's phone.
Rajan and Shankar have more pictures.  Please share them when you get a chance.

Thank you for this wonderful opportunity given to our grade.  Hope you all have a nice Thanksgiving break.  See you all in December.


Thanks and Regards
Rashmi (9th Grade Coordinator)
