The Meaning of Thanks  – Salisbury Academy Students Explore History of the First Thanksgiving

 – Ask a first-grader at Salisbury Academy about the first Thanksgiving, and he will enthusiastically share details on the pilgrims’ voyage on the Mayflower and what life was like in the new colony. Talk to a third-grader about Native Americans, and she will give you insights into their culture, food and customs. With appreciation for the history of the first Thanksgiving, pupils in the two grades put on their pilgrim and Native American costumes for Salisbury Academy’s annual Thanksgiving feast last week.
