Third-grade students in Jen Betz’s class at Nassakeag Elementary School in the Three Village School District put a spin on a traditional Thanksgiving menu item – turkey – through a creative writing project. 

The students worked to disguise paper turkeys and write about their plan to escape turkey dinner. Some students transformed into bags of popcorn, sailors, police officers and even Minnie Mouse. The completed projects were hung outside the classroom for all to enjoy and admire.
