The Foods group at Standard School made a complete turkey Christmas dinner for the entire staff and students of the school on Wednesday, Dec. 18.

Students proudly wore their school colours that day and teacher Mrs. Tiffany Phillips headed up the event to make a complete Christmas turkey dinner for the entire staff and student body of the school. It was a successful event last year when they introduced it in December and it will now become a part of their Christmas celebrations. The Jr. High foods group made all the squares for dessert while the Sr. High group was in charge of the turkey, stuffing, vegetables, potatoes and gravy. While it might seem like a daunting task and a large undertaking, the dinner came off without a hitch. Former student Morgan Miller and parent Marlene Goebel helped out for the morning. 

The holiday spirit in their gymnasium was infectious as Grade 1 students mingled with Grade 12 students and teachers ate with the kids. Mrs. Karen Smith, principal of Standard, Hussar and Rockyford schools was proud of the effort of the students and how they were received by the rest of the student body. She also congratulated the students for having collected over 1,150 items of food for the East Wheatland Food Bank.
