On November 21st Pine Crest students will be taking part in a Turkey Trot themed Walk-a-Thon. Students are encouraged (but not required) to dress up in fun, weather appropriate outfits as they will all participate in the fun-filled event. The Turkey Trot will be held during the school day and will consist of students walking as a class around our designated Turkey Trot area. Students will be collecting donations prior to this event. Donations will go toward our Student Motivation fund which is used to organize many things such as IAR incentives, academic awards, field trips, and other motivational activities throughout the school year. We are encouraging every student to raise at least $30. Those who raise $30 will be rewarded with a pizza party! Please know that this event is not open to the public. We are asking for flat donations that are not based on how many laps a student achieves but based on the student participating in the event. All donations need to be collected and turned into Pine Crest by November 20th for the student to be eligible to win prizes
