Third-, fourth- and fifth-grade Gregory Elementary School students participated in the school's third Turkey-Trot Tuesday afternoon on Gregory Avenue.

Lisa Asman, the school's physical education teacher, developed the idea after seeing a Turkey-Trot certificate in a catalogue. The goal is to help keep students active.

View the audio slide show to hear Asman, Michele Thompson, the school’s principal, and E.J. Akerblom, a fifth-grade student, talk about the run.
