Getting a head start on Thanksgiving, students in Mindy Hunter’s structured preschool class at Paul Banks Elementary School held a “Family Thankful Tea” on Nov. 25. Students helped make pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting for the event. They also dressed up and used their very best teatime manners, according to Hunter. Enjoying a snack of fresh oranges as they prepare for the tea party are, from left, Trygg Flyum, Hayden Walters, Zoe Black and McKenna Connelly.
