🏃♂️ Annual Turkey Trot at Cascade Middle School 🏃♀️
Cascade Middle School will host its annual Turkey Trot TODAY, November 27, at 9:50 a.m.
A Turkey Trot is a fun run or walk event traditionally held around Thanksgiving, often on or just before Thanksgiving Day. The term "Turkey Trot" comes from the holiday's association with turkeys.
At Cascade Middle School, the Turkey Trot is a longstanding tradition for seventh and eighth graders and school staff. It’s a festive event that provides an opportunity for the school community to celebrate the holiday spirit.
