Teachers and parents in the PTA created a multicultural carnival last week, complete with games, foods and decorations authentic to the multitude of nations represented by Skyview students and their families. Parents brought home-cooked foods from their homeland and dressed their kids in native garb.

Before Skyview families went home, though, they had one stop left to make. Outside, a box truck waited with a pack full of food to brighten every student’s Thanksgiving holiday.

The Packs4LH project was a collaboration by 100 Women of Lake Highlands, the Exchange Club and Knights of Columbus. I’m not sure who had bigger smiles – the volunteers or the recipients.
