Many Mt. Edgecumbe High School students were far from home on Thanksgiving but each year the boarding school hosts a dinner for its students. On Wednesday, nearly 400 teens celebrated together with their “extended school families” in the gymnasium. After the meal, the kids gathered for a variety show by their peers and teachers with fencing, dancing and singing.
