Turkey Trot at HES

November 9, 2016 By Kathleen Peloquin, Media Editor

Special to the Express

Most of the 593 students of Halifax Elementary School took to the fields Wednesday, October 26th, to participate in the 18th Annual Turkey Trot.  Each year, the Turkey Trot focuses on healthy habits, school spirit, and recognition of a month-long food drive that benefits the Helping Hands of Halifax.   

Students ran the Turkey Trot by grade level in a cross-  country style run around the Halifax athletic fields culminating with a healthy snack provided by Nessralla’s Farm and hot chocolate courtesy of Halifax Walmart and Halifax Elementary School PTO.

Throughout the month of October, students, families, and local businesses have generously donated food items to be passed on to the pantry.  Proudly, 1275 donations were made by the students.    At the center of the donation are turkeys, an all-time high of 40 turkeys were purchased by the generous donations from local families, teachers and local businesses. Alex Meade, a Halifax parent and owner of Preferred Mechanical Services  of Pembroke, pledged 15 turkeys for the third year in a row.  Many thanks to all that donated!

In early November, the following Halifax Elementary School students, by virtue of their exemplary performances at the Turkey Trot, will help present our donation to members of the Helping Hands of Halifax.
