SPECIAL THANKSGIVING: Fifteen-year-old Jonathan Gomolka (above) of Newton had the best possible view of this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in Manhattan. He was in it.

Gomolka, a sophomore at Newton North High School, was among 135 students of the Catskills-based  Stagedoor Manor performing arts summer camp who sang and danced in the grand finale “Santa by the Book,” from “Yes, Virginia the Musical.”  Gomolka, who attended the camp for the last three summers, also performed in the parade in 2010.
