The Roger C. Sullivan High School community and Friends of Sullivan are thrilled to announce this year’s 8th Annual Sullivan Thanksgiving, which, for the second year in a row, we will celebrate “post” TG.

Wednesday, December 4th, Sullivan HS 

6PM - 8:PM

For the past seven years, including during Covid, the Friends of Sullivan Thanksgiving Celebration t has introduced many of Sullivan’s refugee and immigrant “newcomer" students to our cherished American holiday.

Unfortunately, this year we need to craft a special message, as many of our students face daunting challenges given the deportation agenda that the new administration in DC plans to roll out.

Despite this profound challenge, we intend to throw one of our best Thanksgiving events.
