Trotting For Harelson Families. Gobble Gobble!!

 

Dear Parents,

Harelson Elementary School is going to participate in our very first Turkey Trot.

There will be a short race before Thanksgiving Break.  It's not mandatory for the students to participate but we really hope they will!!

They can walk or run, it's up to them.  It's a healthy way to have fun during an event that centers around our community.

We are encouraging students who wish to participate to bring in one or more non-perishable food items.  

All of the food collected (and donated) helps families in need for Thanksgiving.  We will donate these to our Harelson Holiday families.  Kids who do not donate food can still participate in the Turkey Trot.  The more the merrier!

The race will be held on Wednesday, November 26th from 10:45am to 11:15am for the FIRST and SECOND graders. 

Here is the schedule for all the grade levels:

Kindergarten:  10:30 am to 10:45 am
1st and 2nd Grade:  10:45 am to 11:15 am
3rd and 4th Grade:  11:15 am to 11:30 am
5th and 6th Grade:  11:30 am to 11:45 am

We hope to have all of our students to participate in the Turkey Trot!

All non-perishable food items can be brought to the Forever Green starting before school until 8:45 am.  Student Council members will be collecting food and making a food pyramid.

We encourage students to dress up as turkeys - think headbands like the guy in the photo above!

I've also heard they have turkey hats at WalMart.  If you're going to trot like a turkey, you might as well reallllly look like one!

Please let me know if you have any questions.

See you at the Trot!
