Superintendent Anibal Soler, Jr. posted a public music video with his face edited onto a dancing turkey on Nov. 22 in celebration of Thanksgiving.

The video runs over the 1963 song “Surfin’ Bird” by the Trashmen. The video was posted on YouTube and on the school district’s YouTube channel under the title “Happy Thanksgiving SCSD.” He also posted it in his Thanksgiving superintendent’s brief.

His brief shares his gratitude and thanks for the faculty and staff of Schenectady City School District, and his gratitude for the parents and guardians whose children attend schools in the Schenectady city school district, the community partners. Lastly he expressed his appreciation and gratitude for us, the Schenectady students.  

“I appreciate your diversity, creativity, interest, energy, empathy, voice and uniqueness,” he wrote. “Thank you for coming into our lives and making a difference.”
