Holmes Students Set New School Record At Turkey Trot
Holmes students have once again shown why they reign supreme when it comes to participating in district and non-district health events. Nearly 100% of the Holmes school student body (K-5) participated in this years turkey trot event. K-1 students ran/walked a half mile distance with many of the kids going beyond their two lap expectation around the school playground area. Grades 3-5 participants showed a great increase in participation, more than any other of the 14 preceding years that I have been health and physical instructor at Holmes. Nearly every boy and girl completed the four lap requirement (one mile distance) around the school playground area, not one student did less than a half mile, every student both athletic and non-athletic finished at least 2 laps. The boys and girls at Holmes are really coming to understand many of the practical components geared towards living healthy lifestyles.
