Traditional
Dancing and singing from Native American performance at Widener University on
Monday, November 25th. Native Americans had a lot to do with the
starting of Thanksgiving sharing their food with the Europeans who came to
America. Because of this fact, November is Native American Heritage Month. People
all over this nation will be celebrating and sharing a meal with friends and
family today. Happy Thanksgiving!

Native American Heritage Month at Chester High School
President
Obama has proclaimed November Native American Heritage month and November 29th
Native American Day. In honor of this occasion, Chester High School History
students were visited by Andrew Brazington, a Native American Environmentalist,
who shared his genealogy. Andrew is part Cherokee and Blackfeet heritage. He
spoke about Native American history from the beginning of America to present
day. He discussed the Indian Removal Act and the Trail of Tears which took
place under President Jackson. Native Americans were forced to move from their
homeland to the Oklahoma territory, an over 800 miles trek which left many dead
due to hunger and exposure from the harsh weather.
Andrew also discussed the environment
which he is most passionate about saving. He hopes to get 10,000 trees planted
in Chester because trees provide oxygen. A lack of oxygen affects the
environment and people. Andrew participated in the planting of trees at Chester
High School three years ago. He also celebrated the fact that after 30 years,
the Bald Eagle is off the endangered species list in Pennsylvania. Great
information Andrew, we appreciate your visit on Monday for Native American
Heritage Month.

Widener University Hospitality Students “Give” this Thanksgiving
My picture from Thanksgiving 2012 |
For the past eight years, seniors in
the co-op program in the School of Hospitality Management at Widener University
have prepared a Thanksgiving feast for the families at the Salvation Army in
Chester. They will continue that tradition this year, with some additional
help.
Aside from applying their skills of
hospitality, the students are also focusing on the leadership, another aspect
of the co-op program at Widener. The seniors are working on the service project
this year with students from the “Introduction to Hospitality Management”
class.
“Working with freshmen has been a
leveling experience,” said Courtney Waselik, a senior hospitality management
major. “We have really been able to see how much we as seniors have changed in
just four years at Widener. As students we’ve really learned a lot of from one
another.”
The seniors who are participating in
the service project are not only full-time students, but they are also working
at their co-ops full time.
Together the upper and lower
classman have coordinated everything themselves from planning the full
Thanksgiving menu to calculating how much ingredients they will need to serve
over 100 people. “They have prepared everything you can think of from stuffing
and vegetables to the turkey and pumpkin pie,” said Dr. Joy Dickerson,
professor of hospitality management and director of the co-op program.
Students will be preparing the
Thanksgiving meal on Main Campus on Monday and Tuesday. They will be serving
the food to families at the Salvation Army on Wednesday, Nov. 27 from 11:30
a.m. to 1 p.m.
“It’s been a lot of fun so far, but
we are excited for to serve the meal at the Salvation Army,” said Waselik.
“When we get to interact with everyone, it becomes so much more than just
serving food; it’s a humbling and unforgettable experience.”
