Administrators, teachers, counselors, aides and all staff members at John Muir Middle School held the First Annual Thanksgiving at Muir on Tuesday, November 26, after regular school hours. Almost all of the school site employees enjoyed the meal and time together. Donna Collier, Culinary Arts instructor, prepared six turkeys for the feast.
“This is my second year as a principal and I am amazed at what a great school this is, and it’s all because of the people,” commented Dr. Greg Miller, Muir Middle School principal. “A lot of schools may talk about being a family, but I really feel that we are, here at Muir. No other school I have worked at has had this atmosphere.”
“I like Thanksgiving and I am thankful to be at Muir, so I thought we should have Thanksgiving because we are a family here,” explained Dr. Miller. “Everyone thought it was a great idea. The whole idea is for us to spend and enjoy time together.”
“The first annual Thanksgiving at Muir was a huge success,” commented Dr. Miller. “Almost 90 members of the faculty and staff participated and had a great time. There was way to much food as everyone contributed a dish.”
Teachers Barry Sarna, Glen Jaffe and Steven Moos performed and provided music during the meal and Logix Federal Credit Union donated 25 $5 gift cards to Menchies that were given away in a raffle.
