To our readers: 

We’re quickly approaching our second Thanksgiving during a global pandemic and we would like to give you a chance to reflect on what you are thankful for this year. We will share your submissions in a special Thanksgiving collection that we will post online on Waterbury Roundabout and print in the Waterbury Reader.

We would especially love to hear from young people - students of all ages, from pre-K through college. Drawings and photos are welcome along with letters, poems, etc. 

Keep written submissions to 250 words or fewer. Photos and art should be a .jpg or .png image file. (Don’t forget a caption.) Be sure to include your name and town. For students, please tell us your grade. 

Email to: waterburyroundabout@gmail.com with ‘THANKSGIVING’ in the subject line. Deadline: 5 p.m. Friday, Nov. 19, for print. (Entries received through Nov. 23 would just be published online.)
