Elementary students at the Southern Connecticut Hebrew Academy celebrated Thanksgiving by learning about both the American and Jewish  traditions of giving thanks.   Mrs. Pacileo's fifth graders performed a play entitled "The First Thanksgiving"  depiciting the experiences of the Pilgrims that eventually established the American Thanksgiving holiday and traditions.   Right afterwards,  the sixth grade performed a Hebrew musical entitled "Todah",  depicting the Jewish approach to thankfulness in a modern world.  Close to 100 parents and grandparents joined the festivities,  which also included preschool presentations and a grand Thanksgiving feast prepared by the students.
