Turkey Trot fun at Banks Elementary
Free holiday concert slated
for December 17 in Banks
The Banks community can
enjoy a free holiday concert
December 17 at Schlegel Hall
in Sunset Park from 6:30 to
8:30 p.m.
Headlining the event will be
Alena Sheldon. Other perform-

Favorite Home Town Band”
and the choir from the Banks

Yes, the audience will get to
stretch their vocal chords, too,
with a community sing-along.
Santa Claus will make an ap-
pearance and those attending
will find it easy to drive away
the chill with coffee, hot choco-
late and homemade cookies.
Attendees are asked to bring
a non-perishable food item for
the local Sunshine Food Bank.
Sunset Park Association and
the Banks Chamber of Com-
merce are sponsoring the free
concert. They will be assisted
by the Grace Hill Fellowship,
In honor of Thanksgiving Day, Banks Elementary School had fun with a new activity on Mon-
day, November 21. Students got the chance to chase Tom Turkey! This was the first of what
may become an annual event for the school. Each grade lined up for the turkey trot during
their lunch recess. Everyone who ran got a piece of candy for their efforts. Principal Marty
Voge and fifth grade teacher Jonathan Pearson took turns as Tom.
