It was all smiles and high fives at John Muir Elementary when Seahawk mascot Blitz joined the students at their 14th annual Turkey Trot.

This much anticipated week-long event takes place during lunch recesses and promotes importance of physical fitness and activity. The students walk, jog and trot around the soccer field. The top boy and girl from each class with the most laps will win a frozen turkey donated by local businesses. Also, the top two classes with the most laps run, will win a class party. This event is made possible by the generous turkey donations from the local community and businesses.

Kirkland residents can make a donation by contacting John Muir Elementary at 425-936-2640.
