Students ran laps around the basketball floor, shot basketball hoops, and did sit-ups as part of the contests. To promote health and fitness, Mackinac Island Public School coordinated a Turkey Trot fitness competition among the student body Tuesday, November 25, before the Thanksgiving holiday break.

Competitions included laps around the gymnasium, shooting basketballs through hula hoops, and doing as many squat exercises as possible in a specified time. The games were coordinated by physical education teacher Mary Patay.

The entire student body was invited to watch and to participate in the games.

Winners and their classes are as follows:

Kindergarten-1: Dominic Morse and Makenna Horricks
