🦃✨ Gobblers on the Loose! ✨🦃
Portlock Primary staff participated in the first-ever Great Gobbler Goosechase, and what a feather-ruffling success it was! 🏃♂️🏃♀️ Staff teamed up to tackle hilarious, turkey-themed missions that would make even the most serious pilgrim giggle. From “Turkey Trots”, "Corncob Relays" and "Human Cornucopias" to "Turkey Gobble Caroling" we celebrated the days leading up to Thanksgiving break with laughter, teamwork, and a little bit of friendly competition. And the students got involved in the fun, as well!
Big thanks to our amazing participants for making this day turkey-rrific!! Who knew turkeys could run so fast (or dance so well)? 🦃💃
