TURKEY TROT


Get Ready to Trot!
What is Turkey Trot? Turkey Trot is Crosswind PTA's primary fundraiser held each year. Its goal is to raise funds to help our school purchase the educational equipment, computer software, programs and other materials for our classrooms and students. Students obtain pledges from friends/family for either a flat or "per lap" donation. Each grade level has a special time where students are given 30 minutes to walk or "trot" around an 1/8 mile track (designed on the bus loop) as may times as possible. It is a fun and festive day with great music, family, friends and loads of other activities.

We will need many volunteers and even encouraging bystanders! Parents are encouraged to attend.

THIS YEAR'S TURKEY TROT FUNDRAISER WILL TAKE PLACE ON FRIDAY, October 21 @ 11:45-12:15 ON THE BUS LOOP.
*The kids will be back in class at 12:30 and their lunch will be at 12:45.
