Just days before sitting down to a Thanksgiving feast students at the First Presbyterian Preschool gave thanks with song and dance Monday morning. 

For a crowd of parents and family members children paraded in with food donations and listened to Rev. Glen Bell describe the importance of giving thanks. The performance took on a Hawaiian theme with children wearing colorful leis. 

Following the performance parents and children met for a potluck luncheon in the Fellowship Hall.
