Turkey Trot and Thanksgiving Food Drive

It’s that time of year again!  The Saint Mark PK-8 classes will be participating in The 15th Annual Turkey Trot on Tuesday, November 24.  As always, the children will trot/walk/run around a designated campus course as they enjoy some fun exercise with their classmates.  And if we’re lucky, we may get a special guest Turkey Trotter!

This fun activity doesn’t just promote physical fitness, but also works toward building a sense of community in our school.  We want to challenge our students to be aware of the less fortunate this holiday season.  Therefore, we are requesting that each student bring in one or more canned food item to donate to the Saint Mark Church Food Bank that takes place every Saturday morning.  If each student brings in at least one can, we will have over 240 cans of food donated!  All non-expired canned meat, fruits, vegetables and non-perishable items are welcome.  Your child may bring their donations to their classroom teacher by Wednesday, November 25 whereupon we will present them in that morning’s Chapel service.
