Happy Thanksgiving!

Approximately 15 students celebrated Thanksgiving at the American Culture Club by learning about the history of Thanksgiving while watching A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, in addition to “The Mayflower Voyagers” episode from This Is America, Charlie Brown.

Charles and Hannah shared their own Thanksgiving traditions and students listened to turkey calls (turkey’s aren’t very common in Romania!) and made their own hand turkeys in celebration of the holiday.

Thanks to all who attended the meeting and be sure to stop by next week for Beatnik Coffee House night!
