It celebrates the story of the Pilgrim’s meal with the Native Americans and is reserved as a day to spend with loved ones and for giving thanks.Most families observe with a large meal and sometimes a religious service. Many countries observe a variation of this celebration or have a different holiday along the same themes. It is common to mark the harvest season with celebratory meals and festivals of thanks within many religions and communities, a theme that dates back to ancient pagan festivals.

MY AURORA HERO
International video essay competition by UWC Dilijan
The goal of the contest is to motivate young people standing on the very threshold of maturity to think about the people in everyday life who provide an example to them and can rightly be called a hero. Heroes can be those close to us, or those further away, whose deeds and actions are aimed at helping those in need, the conservation and improvement of the lives of others, creating a positive change in the world around them.
Three of my students participated in the competition.
