The annual Harvest Feast, hosted by the Parent Teacher Student Association, occurred during lunch on Nov. 20. Due to forecasted rain, organizers moved the event from the Spangenberg courtyard to the Bow Gym. Students were served free Thanksgiving meals with a slice of either apple or pumpkin pie for dessert. PTSA members and parent volunteers distributed food and facilitated lines. The pieing event planned by the Student Executive Council reached its $2000 donation goal, but due to weather conditions, it will be filmed and released as a video. According to Junior Site Council Representative Deven Sharma, SEC partnered with PTSA to coordinate the event.

“(SEC) worked with an outside organization, (PTSA), who handled the logistics of the food,” he said. “SEC handled the decorations, the music, the pie event and the donations. It’s two teams that work on (Harvest Feast).”

As a two-time parent volunteer, Chief Scholarship Officer of the Gunn Foundation Miguel Lopez appreciates that the Harvest Feast helps strengthen the community.

“Coming together as a community, seeing all the other parents pitch in and help each other for the benefit of the students and staff (is my favorite part of the event),” he said.
