Edgemont’s elementary schools kicked off Thanksgiving break with their annual Turkey Trots, untimed community runs that get every student moving while building school spirit. At Greenville, grade levels took turns running one to three laps as classmates cheered and showed off gratitude-themed decorated bibs. At Seely Place, students spent about 20 minutes running, walking, or jogging to holiday music, wearing handmade hats, carrying class posters, and joining a friendly spirit competition alongside local police and firefighters. In both schools, the event also connected to STEAM learning and led into student-created balloon float parades that celebrated creativity, collaboration, and community.
