Thanksgiving at work

Getting ready for a meal with the kids and staff

Today, we celebrated Thanksgiving at work. I work at an alternative school of sorts, through YCS. We currently have 9 kids in the program, so that grants us a lot of flexibility with what we do. For Thanksgiving, the staff made food and brought it in, and we had a giant feast with the kids. We only asked them to dress up and act appropriately. I walked in to work today, and saw all my adorable kids in their best clothes! I loved it! They were so excited! All of them had their hair done, nice clothes on, and they were (for the most part) in awesome moods. It's crazy how much good a change of clothes and some free food can do. I had so much fun. After eating, they put on some music and danced while we tried to do the dishes before leaving. It's everything I could've hoped for those kids. I can't wait to see what they do at Christmas!
