Avery, CA...Sayler McPhee is a 7-year-old with a heart of gold in Avery. As fall approached and the leaves started changing color, Sayler was saying how excited she was for Thanksgiving, and talking about the feast she loves to prepare, eat, and share with her family. This sparked the discussion of, “Does everyone celebrate Thanksgiving?” When Sayler realized that due to different circumstances not everyone is able to have a large Thanksgiving feast she was curious how she could help. Recently, Sayler joined the American Heritage Girls, a troop that focuses on faith, family, country, and encourages community service and involvement.
