As a way to thank families for supporting their children at the Soboba Tribal Preschool, the staff and teachers hosted a Fall Feast at the Soboba Sports Complex, Nov. 21. Those who attended were treated to performances by the mostly three-year-old preschoolers, students in Pre-K and those in kindergarten.

Pre-K students receive applause and much support from smiling family members at Fall Feast 2025, held at the Soboba Sports Complex.

After being treated to enthusiastic singing and dancing, everyone was treated to a lunch with delicious Mexican fare, ranging from beef or chicken enchiladas to Pozole prepared by the preschool kitchen staff headed by Chef Anita Morillo. The desserts table was laden with sweet treats provided by the students’ family members and preschool staff.

Kindergartners in their handmade turkey costumes perform two songs and a dance at the Fall Feast, Nov. 21.

The walls were decorated with colorful images of all things fall as well as comments about what the young ones are most thankful for this time of year.

This poster made by the preschoolers is one of several decorations that welcomed guests to the Soboba Tribal Preschool’s Fall Feast.

Talla Grant said she is thankful for, “My whole family. Everybody, like Papa Joe too. And learning how to be strong, too.” Jaxton Vivanco’s gratitude is for, “My mom, my dad, Jameson, Ka’uush, Rex, Spiderman, and Jericho.”

Handprints from Pre-K kids fill up the huge acorn that hung on the wall at the Soboba Sports Complex.

“Pete the Cat, mom, dad, and grandma” made the list for Eshash Shuullaw, while “Family & noodles” are what Erika Yazzie said.

Kindergartner Paxaa Lindsey points to the leaf he colored and wrote on to add to the thankful tree decoration used at the Fall Feast, Nov. 21.

Most of the kindergartners were thankful for their family members who they love very much. Paxaa Lindsey wrote, “I am thankful for…my parents, my friends and pets.”

The love goes both ways as evidenced by the parents and grandparents who attended the event and enjoyed spending time with their children and extended families.

Maria Vivanco is thankful for her 10, and soon to be 11, grandchildren of all ages. Three of them attend the Soboba Tribal Preschool and she enjoyed seeing them on stage performing their songs and dances.
