The two days before Thanksgiving break the Kindergarten had the opportunity to experience what it is like to be either a Pilgrim or an Indian. Students ground corn, pounded on drums, made popcorn, washed clothes on a wash board, made necklaces out of colored noodles, learned how to sew on a button, and made butter. Thank you Moms and sixth-grade students for helping in the classrooms.

Second-grade students at Art City Elementary, in Springville, on Friday, November 18, 2016 celebrated Thanksgiving by girls wearing dresses and boys wearing white shirts, long socks that they tucked their pant legs into. In the class room the desks were pushed together like long banquet tables. The students had the opportunity to make aprons, hats, satchels, necklaces, and buckles for the boy’s shoes. The students then ate in their classrooms with pilgrims, Indians, parents and Teacher.
Through the halls and in the gym there were many different "characters" hanging around. If you look really close though you can see that it is really a turkey in disguise.
On Wednesday November 16, 2016, Art City Elementary first-grade classes performed for the school then that evening for their parents.
