Since Thanksgiving is soon approaching, we set out to interview staff and students on how they celebrate and to see just how different we really are. 


Starting off slow, we asked the easy question. Quite simply, for those who have turkey, how do you make it? One person deep fries their turkey, five bake it, one buys it from a store, and two didn’t know yet how their turkey would be cooked. One that stood out to us was student Joe Porriello, saying, “I just show up for the food”.

Even as your writers, we celebrate differently. For Jacob Rivera, his family does not have turkey. Instead, they celebrate with mostly Latin American foods such as rice and beans, gandules, tostones, mofongo, pasteles, and alcapurrias. The main substitution for having turkey for the Rivera family is Pernil, which for your understanding, is roasted pork. The Rivera family, among many other families celebrate Thanksgiving in many different ways, mixing in what they know and how they live.

Senior Megan Kelleher celebrates by having antipasto every year. “It's become a tradition where, every year, we have to have it.” 

While doing our interviews, we found that a lot of people have yearly traditions to celebrate this holiday.

Malvina Katapuqi celebrates by having lamb, which is part of her religion. 

As you can see, Thanksgiving is a holiday that holds many traditions for most families. No matter how you cook your turkey, what other foods you may eat, or simply just showing up to be with your family, it's a holiday that brings everyone together.
