Part of what makes a family a family are its traditions — including around the holidays. Those things you do year after year.

WGLT's Ryan Denham brings us this story from District 87's Washington Elementary School in Bloomington, which has a Thanksgiving tradition all its own. Listen to the story by clicking Play above.
![On the menu for this year's Thanksgiving lunch at Washington were turkey breast, corn, mashed potatoes, gravy, fresh fruit, and carrots.](https://npr.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/cfbc144/2147483647/strip/true/crop/4032x3024+0+0/resize/880x660!/quality/90/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnpr-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F04%2F2d%2F268df2e348cb98e22482ea2b59b5%2Fimg-4949.jpg)
