Aldine ISD’s 40th Annual Turkey Trot Shows Terrific Community Support

Disponible en:

The potential rain did not keep more than 600 Aldine ISD stakeholders from coming out on Saturday, November 2, to participate in the 40th Annual Turkey Trot. Held at Lone Star College-North Harris, the community could run or walk the 3-mile or 1-mile distance. Led by 2022 Teacher of the Year Linda Nigro, Vardeman EC/PK/K School had the highest attendance, earning the coveted Turkey Trot trophy.

This event focused on health and wellness and brought the community together. After the races, participants visited multiple health vendors, posed for pictures, played games, and had the chance to win door prizes, including frozen turkeys.

Multiple Aldine ISD Physical Education teachers showed up to support their students who signed up to run the race. This was just one of the many ways Physical Education teachers in Aldine ISD go above and beyond to help their students be healthy, lifelong learners.

Not to be outdone, Aldine ISD’s Child Nutrition Department came out to support the event and be a healthy role model by participating in the 1-mile event.

Kenneth Hernández with Aldine ISD’s Athletic Department said: “It is incredible to see how much the community cares for the health and wellness of the children in Aldine ISD. The amazing turnout reminds us that we truly put our students first and will continue to support the whole child.”

Mark your calendars and start preparations for next year’s Turkey Trot, scheduled for Saturday, November 1, 2025. We look forward to seeing you there!
