Most children and adults can remember Thanksgiving observances in school -- from drawing turkeys by tracing one's hand to dressing as Pilgrims and Indians and reenacting a version of the "first" Thanksgiving.

Here students at North School on Portland's Munjoy Hill, hold letters that spell out the name of the holiday.
