The Purcell Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is sponsoring the Annual Turkey Trot Fun Run on Tuesday, November 3, and Wednesday, November 4.

Elementary students in PreK will run from 8:30-9 a.m., kindergarten from 9-9:35 a.m., first grade from 9:35-10:10 a.m. and second grade will participate from 10:10-10:45 a.m. on November 3

Intermediate students in the fifth grade will run from 8:30-9:15 a.m., fourth grade from 9:15-10 a.m. and third grade from 10-10:45 a.m. on November 4.

The PTO is an active part of the Purcell school system, consisting of staff and parents with students in Pre-K through fifth grade.

PTO organizes the annual Turkey Trot at the school and various other fundraisers.

With the money raised in the past, the group has bought iPads and cases for classrooms, a music system for the intermediate school, PE equipment, musical instruments for the music program along with other items.

The PTO is a great way for parents to be involved with their children’s education.

This year’s Turkey Trot will be held at the Bob Haley Track.

Students are looking for sponsorships of any amount. They will walk, run, jog or skip around the track.

Anyone interested in donating to the PTO can send a check to the Purcell PTO, 809 N. Ninth, Purcell OK 73080.
