Turkey Trot On Thanksgiving, there was a marathon starting very early in the morning. It is TURKEY TROT!!! Thousands of people attend this annual marathon on Thanksgiving. This was my second time volunteering and thus I wasn’t as lost as the first time I volunteered. Although the volunteering was very tiring both because of the work and that the fact one needs to wake up early to start this event, it was another successful Turkey Trot in which I had lots of fun.

Parade of Lights
SOCIALS
Thanksgiving Break was a great time to serve others and Paschal High School Key Club did just this. At the annual Parade of Lights in Fort Worth, a ton of Key Clubbers came out to help and walk in the parade. This was definitely one of the most fun festive events of the year. There were over a hundred floats, which were all unique and covered in beautiful lights. I had so much fun being in the parade and getting to dance to Holiday music as I walked the streets of

Habitat Hot Chocolate Fundraiser There is no better way to spend the end of Thanksgiving Day than by doing service.

I had never been out on Black Friday before, and was shocked to see the line outside of Best Buy at 11 PM. Also since Texas is extremely hot, it was 70 degrees that night, at the last
we made a cooler of Tang as well. Overall it was a very successful event!

The Poetry Column When you can’t see the letter “q” or “w” We braille to “u” right on cue When your house is overcome by mildew And it has become a house needing revalue We come to the rescue Renewing the residue When you don’t have a source of revenue And you’re out on the streets after curfew We serve stew And other things on our menu But sadly there is always too few… When you don’t have a back to support you WE GOT YOUR BACK.
