With the Holiday season coming around and COVID-19 cases rising, many families will have to break Thanksgiving traditions and celebrate apart from their extended relatives.
Fortunately, there is nothing like a great feast to lighten the mood. Every family has their own special Thanksgiving menu, most of them including the basics like a Turkey, stuffing, gravy, and cranberry sauce. But the rest? Well some families might do Thanksgiving a little bit differently. Take a look at the desserts and sides that some IHS students celebrate with:

Although it is difficult to be apart from our families during this time, it is important that we all celebrate the holidays safely to lower the risk of a rise in COVID cases leading to further shut downs of businesses and schools.
But that does not mean that we can’t have a normal Thanksgiving meal. Maybe you can try one of the IHS students’ desserts in this year’s wacky Thanksgiving.
