LIMA, OH (WLIO) - Students, their parents, as well as faculty, all shared a Thanksgiving meal.
Freedom Elementary School hosted a Thanksgiving feast where kindergartners learned the importance of sharing a meal with family as well as staff that helps teach them every day. Organizers say that an event like this takes a while to plan, but in the end, it's worth seeing all the smiling faces enjoy a meal as one.
"I want to thank Meijer for giving their donation to us because we had to reach out to them months in advance and then we also had some staff that donated some items. But planning, it took a little while to plan, but it's always worth it," said Marissa Kennedy, school resource officer.
Lima police officers and firefighters were also on hand to enjoy a meal with students.
