On November 16, Sturgis advisories finished their turkey basket collection for the 2012 holiday season. At Sturgis twenty-one baskets were collected for the program, which donates items for Thanksgiving meals to local needy families.

Sturgis's efforts were spearheaded for the second time by Latin teacher Dr. Albis. He said, "This was definitely a success. This year, it was different in that we had to deliver the baskets."

Jack Goldstein, Kit Fredeura, James Peterson, and Bella Springer helped Dr. Albis deliver the baskets to the Hyannis Harbor Hotel where the Community Action Committee of Cape Cod and the Islands picked them up to distribute them. Fredeura, a junior, remarked that he could tell "the people were especially grateful."

Peterson, also a junior, said: "There was more than I thought there would be. It was good to know that there would be a lot of baskets going to families who needed it."
