Thanksgiving is a wonderful opportunity for people to give thanks for their many blessings. Many of Prestige’s students are new to Canada. Ms. Vanessa and the grade threes taught our international students the meaning of Thanksgiving and shared some traditional desserts – pumpkin pie, blueberry pie and apple pie.
