Many helpings of thanks

Grand Rapids Lasagna, mac and cheese, fruit, fried chicken, carrots and broccoli, cheese, chips, dips, mashed potatoes and desserts all contributed by parents made for a fantastic first-grade Thanksgiving feast at Mulick Park Elementary School Tuesday.

First-grade teacher Cassie Greig’s students prepare for the special event by writing a paper on what they are thankful for and coloring Thanksgiving placemats with their names on them. Greig started the tradition seven years ago.
