SUMNER — For the fifth consecutive year, the cafeteria staff at Hartford-Sumner Elementary School treated the fifth and sixth grade students, their parents and grandparents to a Thanksgiving feast on Thursday.

Jo Marston and Jenna Cloutier and their staff did all of the planning and preparation along with their staff, Cloutier, the school nutritionist, said.

Western Regional School District Superintendent Tom Ward welcomed the large group of attendees and declared the event "an embedded tradition."

Principal Ryan Wilkins said he thought the dinner was a good way to bring the community together. He said the kitchen staff and students were very excited about the event.

Rita Humphrey, grandmother to sixth-grader Avery La Grange, said, "It's wonderful. It's my first time and I would come again."

Fatma Perry said it was her third time attending and it's always fun. She was there with her daughter Katherine and Bob Perry, Katherine's grandfather.

Approximately 200 meals were served.
