INAUGURAL TURKEY TROT, ROLL AND STROLL
Keep the traditions alive!
2025 TURKEY TROT, ROLL AND STROLL
Thank you to all that helped get the word out about the Turkey Trot.
We had 73 participants, the best since the restart of the Turkey Trot in 2023. The foundation earned $660 (7 participants were under 10 and free). The Karing Kitchen received a trunk load of food. The weather was cool with some snowflakes in the air. We received positive feedback and many appreciated the event.

Thanksgiving Day 2019 was the inaugural Turkey Trot, Roll, and Stroll
sponsored by the OCSD Foundation!
There were 107 enthusiastic participants of all ages, supported by volunteers from various organizations including the OHS Z Club, Foundation Board members, the Oneida City Water Department, Oneida City Police, and Superintendent Zehr and family. Donated canned goods filled seven large boxes and were distributed to seven food pantries in Oneida and nearby communities. Funds raised will go towards supporting student scholarships and classroom grants funding.
Trophy winning runners included student Nate Jennings, Dakota Corney, and Mary Jane Roberts. Costume winners were student Drew Hicks and OLAF (who was that masked snowman??) Organizer Ginny Pendleton was all decked out as Turkey-in-Charge!
Thanks to Ginny Pendleton, OCSD Foundation Board member, for organizing this event! Thanks to OCSD Foundation board member, Ralph Shortell, for taking photos!
