Birch Meadow Turkey Trot 2026

November 23rd, 2026

Birch Meadow Elementary

Welcome Birchie Bears! Here at Birch Meadow Elementary, we are hosting a healthy, educational fundraiser for our students to participate in.

On November 23rd each class will be escorted to the High School track where all children will take part in our 5th Annual Turkey Trot!

The Turkey Trot is our PTO's largest annual fundraiser and raises at least 60% of the total PTO budget for the year.

Funds are used by the PTO for the 2026-2027 school year to provide the excellent enrichment programs for all students!

The Turkey Trot will take place during the school day under the direction of gym teacher, Mr. McCracken, and will have a community emphasis, with various specialist teachers contributing their time and talent as well as parent volunteers.

This is not a race but rather a fun and healthy event for all. Whether your child walks, runs, or “trots” each child will participate! We have no doubt this year will be another fantastic event!

Parents: volunteers are needed! Sign up today.
