UPDATE …. 2011 Turkey Trot and Team Florida High

Thank you to all the Florida High students and family members that came out in support of our team in the 36th running of the Tallahassee Turkey Trot Thanksgiving morning! At press time we were still awaiting news if we had won the Kent Vann Award of Excellence contest. Over 5100 people participated in the various races in the Southwood neighborhood. 3,305 ran in the 5k race and 1,010 in the 1 mile Gobbler. These two races were the most popular of the 4 races offered.

We had approximately 30 elementary students and about as many parents and family members that participated in either the one mile or 5k race. Weather conditions were a bit brisk, but nice for running. Here’s hoping you’ll include the Turkey Trot as an annual Thanksgiving family tradition. Thanks again and GO TEAM FLORIDA HIGH!

"Do Something Good For Someone Elsel!"

This is my challenge for our families in this month of Thanksgiving. Step outside of your "box" and do something as a family or individually for someone else. Like:

  • Drop a bag of groceries to a shelter.
  • Walk your elderly neighbor’s dog.
  • Cook a meal for a college student.
  • Wash your teacher or prinipal’s car.
  • Give books & toys to a kid’s "home"

 

I would love to know how you reached out this month! I will send out a special Thanksgiving Message listing those wonderful things you did. Simply click here and complete the anonymous survey between now and November 23rd.

THANKING you from the heart….
