MASSENA -- Madison Elementary third grade students and teachers recently pitched in to hold a Thanksgiving feast of turkey and potatoes, rolls, vegetables, desserts and juice.

They set a big tablecloth down on the floor in the hallway where everyone sat down together to enjoy the meal.

As the students ate, conversation and laughter filled the hallway.
