Fayette County Public Schools is holding its annual Thanksgiving feasts in school cafeterias this week — Wednesday through Friday, Nov. 4–6 — and if you want to sit down with your child, you need to call the school before you go.
Every high school and middle school in the district holds its feast on Thursday, Nov. 5. J.C. Booth Middle School is also on the Thursday schedule. Elementary schools spread their feasts across two or three days, with serving windows typically running from around 10:30 or 10:45 a.m. to between 12:20 and 1:05 p.m., depending on the school.
Kedron and Braelinn are the only Peachtree City elementary schools serving all three days, Wednesday through Friday.
The serving windows listed by the district cover all lunch periods at a given school — not a single communal sitting. If your child's school offers more than one feast day, pick the day that matches your child's lunch period.
Please check with your student’s school regarding the procedures to attend the Thanksgiving Feast.— Fayette County Public Schools
The district's announcement, posted Oct. 28, does not list a meal price, a reservation deadline, or who is permitted to attend — so that phone call to the school is not optional if you're planning to join your child.
Starr's Mill, Sandy Creek, Rising Starr, and Flat Rock sit outside Peachtree City's limits but serve parts of the city. Those schools are also on the district's full schedule. The feasts arrive three weeks before the holiday itself — Fayette County schools are out Monday, Nov. 23 through Friday, Nov. 27.
Why it matters — Parents who want to share the meal with their child have a narrow window to confirm procedures with the school — the district's public schedule leaves attendance rules, pricing, and reservation requirements entirely up to each campus.
