Natomas Community Spreads Holiday Cheer
On the Friday before Thanksgiving recess, Joey's Food Locker at Natomas High School distributed turkeys and traditional Thanksgiving sides to Natomas families in need. Keller Williams Realty donated the majority of the turkeys while NUSD families supplied much of the groceries, which ranged from cranberries, beans, and corn. This wouldn't have been possible without the outpouring support and contributions by NUSD staff, families, and stakeholders. Thank you, NUSD community, for making this such a special place to live, work, and go to school. Happy holidays to all of you!
