                                                   PREPARE THANKSGIVING LUNCHEON
                                                   On Saturday, November 14th, Southside ISD Culinary Arts students cooked
                                                   and prepared a Thanksgiving luncheon for community members under the su-
                                                   pervision of Culinary Arts Instructor, Chef Angel Machado.  This is the 3rd year
                                                   that students participate in the very important event where they learn to give
                                                   back to their community and leave a lasting impression on the community they
                                                   serve.  This year was very special, as many families are struggling to put food on
                                                   the table due to the COVID 19 pandemic.  This generous event will leave long
                                                   lasting memories for many of our community members and students as well.
