Thanksgiving, We Gather Together

As we end the fall trimester, we gather as a community for a special luncheon prepared by our students. Every aspect of the gathering is a true collaboration: the delicious dishes cooked by our students, teachers, and staff, the delightfully crafted table settings, the inspiring murals painted by mixed-age groups of children, and the beautiful choral singing. This joyous and meaningful event sets the stage for the intellectual, heartfelt, and soulful pursuits that will inform the curriculum and community experiences for the rest of our year.

Highlights 2025

This year’s Thanksgiving Gathering, Rooted in Community, was a vibrant celebration of creativity, community, and gratitude. Nearly 200 guests came together to enjoy music, art, conversation, and delicious food, all while honoring the rich history of the indigenous peoples who have long inhabited the land. Students of all ages contributed in meaningful ways, from painting murals that explored the passage of time and the cycles of nature, to crafting whimsical plasticine placecard holders, to cooking sweet potatoes and pumpkin pies.
