Annual Turkey Dinner Brings the Woodland Heights School Community Together

The team in the WHS Kitchen Manager, Tess Seymour, and her team put on another amazing Turkey Dinner feast this past Thursday, November 21st.  About 1,000 students, staff, family, and friends were served turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans, corn, stuffing, breads, cranberry sauce, milk, and cake for dessert.  What a feast! 

Our kitchen staff cooked and brought the delectables forth, and a cast of volunteers from the Laconia Police Department served up the dinners to order by our patrons.  There was a nominal fee for the heaping tray of turkey dinner, to help defray the cost of the meal.

Although a bit congested at times, our service lines moved well and our dining area accommodated our guests easily.  The schedule for serving and dining was well-designed by Tami Horan, our school's administrative assistant.  Many other staff members were gracious hosts throughout the dining period, finding ways to pitch in and make things run smoothly, ensuring a great experience for all of our guests.

We hope that you had as much fun as we did during this special Woodland Heights traditional holiday feast.  Thank you so much for joining us this year.  You know how much your presence means to the kids -- a quality time that the children will never forget.  Your support makes great things happen here at WHS, and we are all thankful for that.  Woodland Heights continues to be a better school for your partnership and your contributions.

In other news ....   The coming week will be a short one, with school in session on Monday and Tuesday, and closed on Wednesday through Friday for the Thanksgiving Holiday.  All of your friends at WHS wish you and your family the very best for a relaxing and joyful holiday!
