Turkey Run Giving Back in Gratitude
The Turkey Run tradition in Second Grade continues. The
boys trained hard for the 450-meter race in Riverside Park.
Shown are Headmaster O’Halloran with winners Andrew
Oneglia, Friedy Harris, and Aidan Murray. Each year, the Eighth Grade, guided by their teacher Mr.
Tom Ryan, leads our school-wide Thanksgiving Turkey
Drive. The day before Thanksgiving found the boys busy
lifting boxes filled with turkeys and canned goods, and
packing the van that transported the food to the Lion of
Judah Assembly and Bethel Community Church.
Throughout November, the eighth graders collected
nonperishable food from boys in all classes and ran a pie sale,
with proceeds going toward the purchase of the turkeys. The
Thanksgiving Food Drive is Saint David’s oldest community
action project, met each year with enthusiasm and initiative
on the part of our boys.
