7th Grade - The girls rocked it again! They dominated the St. Louis Sharks 40-22. Izzy "Z" Krueger, Lizzy "Squirt" Martinez, Carly Siler and Klaira Salo put on the pressure with the press. The team had a total of 21 steals! Awesome job! Klaira "Flash" Salo led the team with 19 points while Carly Siler added 10 points to drown the Sharks. Great job on the win girls.

8th Grade - Logann Clayton only had 4 points last night, but with 1.7 seconds left the last 2 ended up being the most important. With a 1 point lead, Logan calmly swished 2 free throws to give the Huskies a 45-42 nail biting win over visiting St. Louis. Kylee Miller scored 18 points in the win including a couple last minute clutch free throws of her own. Riley Lafrance added 12 points, Corrina Gomez had 5 points, Jaydog Mallek had 4 points and Sophia Hauffe rounded out the teams scoring with 2.

The first Thanksgiving was actually a three-day celebration. Today, Thanksgiving takes place on one day — maybe two if you count Black Friday.

Today, a part of Plymouth, Massachusetts, looks just as it did in the 17th century.

While president, Thomas Jefferson refused to declare Thanksgiving as a holiday.

The first Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade didn't feature any balloons.

A Thanksgiving mix-up inspired the first TV dinners. (In 1953 a colossal amount (260 tons to be exact) of turkeys were accidently ordered. In order to get rid of them they filled 5,000 aluminum trays with turkey along with cornbread, dressing, gravy, peas and sweet potatoes to round out the meals. They were sold for 98 cents each.)

About 46 million turkeys are cooked for Thanksgiving each year.

The turkeys pardoned by the President go on to do some pretty cool things. (Some of them go on to Disneyland and Walt Disney World parks to serve as grand marshal in their annual Thanksgiving parades)

Only male turkeys actually gobble.

An estimated 50 million pumpkin pies are eaten on Thanksgiving.
