Gobble Gobble!!! The wonderful PE department at my school planned the 1st Annual Turkey Trot at our school this past week for the students. We all worked hard to plan and organize the event. The trot was a 1 mile run around the school and the athletic fields. The principal was the official starter (the Chief Goobler). Over 200 students ran the before school race, some were running to win the prizes and others ran for the fun of running a race. 1st place boy and girl of each grade received a 22 pound frozen turkey, 2nd place big yummy pumpkin pies and 3rd an equally big and yummy apple pie. It was my delight to call home to the parents/guardians of the winners who were from my classes to congratulate their child and to arrange for pick up of the prizes. You would have cracked up seeing our two tiny 6th grade winners carry their frozen bird out to their proud awaiting parent. This bird was almost bigger than they were but did they want help carrying it- NO WAY!

That is so cool, Shells! What a fun way to get the kids excited about exercise! I have a personal training question for you, but I'll ask you off-line.
Love you!
