The following is an excerpt of the letter sent out to district employees Thursday:
"We have been thinking about you. We can feel all that you and your families have been going through over the past eight long and difficult months. Therefore, this gesture of our appreciation will give you and your families a chance to rest, reflect, and restore. We wish you faith, grace, and kindness for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday."
The letter went on to say that food distribution sites will be open Friday, November 20 and Monday, November 23 from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. as usual. On Tuesday, November 24, the sites will be open from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. to distribute enough food to families for six days.
