Loyd V. Allen, Jr., Ph.d., R.Ph Letter from the Editor
Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving Cornucopia

The first Thanksgiving proclamation was made by Gov. Bradford three years after the pilgrims settled at Plymouth:

"To all ye pilgrims:
Inasmuch as the great Father has given us this year an abundant harvest of Indian corn, wheat, peas, beans, squashes, and garden vegetables, and is made the forest to abound with game and the sea with fish and clams, and inasmuch as he has protected us from the ravages of the savages, has spared us from pestilence and disease, has granted us freedom to worship God according to the dictates of our own conscience; now I, your magistrate, you proclaim that all ye pilgrims, with your wives and ye little ones, do gather at ye meeting house, on ye hill, between the hours of 9 and 12 in the daytime, on Thursday, November ye 29th, of the year of our Lord one thousand six hundred and twenty-three, and the third year since ye pilgrims landed on ye Pilgrim rock, there to listen to ye pastor and render thanksgiving to ye Almighty God for all his blessings.
William Bradford, ye Governor of ye Colony."

Note: There will not be a Newsletter next week so the IJPC staff can enjoy Thanksgiving with their families.

Did You Know...

...that below are a few first-graders' views of the first Thanksgiving?

  • Thanksgiving isn't all day. It comes suddenly at night for dinner.
  • Pilgrims eat for a living.
  • They used turkey feathers to stuff pillows.
  • I think they wore old fashioned clothes.
  • The pilgrims started it. I never met a pilgrim.
  • They swam across the ocean with three boats, I think.
  • You give thanks to God on Thanksgiving and you stuff yourself too.
  • I knew about the pilgrims a long time ago-when I was five. They sailed in the Mayflower.
  • The boat got its name because it was finished in May and its last name was flower.
 

Thought of the Week

"Even in the trials of life, if we have eyes to see them, we can find good things everywhere we look." Joanna Gaines (TV Personality)

"Reflect upon your present blessings, of which everyman has plenty; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some." Charles Dickens (Author)

"Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it." William Arthur Ward (Author)

"Thanksgiving is one of my favorite days of the year because it reminds us to give thanks and to count our blessings. Suddenly, so many things become so little when we realize how blessed and lucky we are." Joyce Giraud (Miss Universe 1998)

"All across America, we gather this week with the people we love to give thanks to God for the blessings in our lives." George W. Bush (Former President)

Looking Back

The monkey took
One look at Jim,
And threw the peanuts
Back at him! He needed..
