These runners may have worked up an appetite! 🏃♀️🏃♂️ Students from all grades at Smith Elementary partnered with Walter M. Williams High School athletes for a fun morning of walking, running, and playing games outside at the annual Turkey Trot! We're thankful to Mr. Maness and staff for organizing and manning such an enjoyable event, to the families who came out to cheer on our runners, and to all the students who participated with such enthusiasm. 🦃🍁 #StudentCenteredFutureFocused
