Sophomore Jhonas Dunakin: "We have a 10K run. A turkey chase, it's really fun. But my favorite food is the stuffing and pumpkin pie."

Senior Alaya White: "I make pie from scratch!"

Science Teacher Mr. Best: "My family and my wife’s family are all coming over for Thanksgiving. This will be the second time this is happening. I make a mean carrot soup, and my father is famous for his brussels sprouts. But this year Echols is coming over, so dessert will be amazing. This year, because we have more people then usual, I had to go to Ikea to buy more plates and silverware."

Freshman Estefan Carrillo: "My mom is a really good cook and for Thanksgiving my extended family and friends come over. But my favorite food is the cranberry sauce."

Senior Rashaun Williams: "In my house you got aunts, uncles, cousins, about 20-27 people. There are three turkeys, buckets of different types of sides, and stacks of cornbread. Together we watch TV, play Wii, cards, and have discussions. This year I am inviting other people to my dinner who need to eat. But we also have leftovers that last about a week!"
