ambrosial pardoned [ACTION ITEM: HIGHLIGHT THE MEANING …

NOVEMBER 28TH TO DECEMBER 2ND C EXTENDED

H A P P Y T I D - B I T F O R T H E D A Y : Oh Happy Day Scholars! I hope you had a

fabulous, fun-filled Thanksgiving holiday. I am sure that it was filled with sweet treats

like pumpkin and apple pie as well as mouth-watering turkey—yum! I especially find

yams quite ambrosial, or pleasing to the senses!

Our president, Barack Obama, released or pardoned two turkeys, Tater and Tot,

who apparently like the sounds of Meghan Trainor and Justin Timberlake. These

beautiful birds will live out their days at “Gobblers Rest” at Virginia Tech University.
