The annual Northbrook Turkey Trot is a one-mile fun run that takes place on Friday, November 20 during Pride Time. All students are invited to participate and commit to physical activity! Students who wish to participate will need a parent permission slip. Permission slips are coming home on November 9.

The top 5 boys and girls in each grade will receive a Turkey Trot medal and will be recognized on the morning announcements.

New this year! We are adding a fundraiser to the Turkey Trot. Students who make contributions will receive a turkey headband to wear during the race. If the school earns $2,000, Dr. Baggett will wear a turkey outfit all day on Friday, November 20. Donate HERE
