It was a fantastic morning at the 8th Annual Turkey Trot. We started our morning with our 4 year old Preschool classes who did a special warm up stretch with Keller before their race. They all did such a great job and earned Turkey Trot ribbons for their effort! Up next were our elementary and middle school racers. Every single student did a fantastic job running their race at the track and then enjoyed a trip to the concession stand where Walnut & Twine was on site with their delicious muffins, rice krispie treats, and hot cocoa to warm up our athletes!
Congratulations to the top finishers in each age division.
In between each student event there were some special races between the Thanksgiving Turkey and Spike. Thank you to Nurse Jackie, Mrs. Simpson, and Coach Debenito for running this holiday event and to our special guest runners, Turkey and Spike, who did a fantastic job and left it all on the track! A very special thank you to Walnut & Twine for providing treats and delicious after race drinks for our Turkey Trotters. #BulldawgPride #TurkeyTrot2025

TEACHER FEATURE TUESDAY: This week’s featured teacher is Mr. Clark Chickering. Clark has been working in education since he was in college. He was a TA for Chemistry Labs as an undergrad and then served as a TA in Chemistry Labs again for one year in graduate school. He has been teaching an Adult Sunday School Class for around thirty years. And, after a successful 30 year career as a Chemist and Supervisor, he joined the staff at Harrisburg R-VIII School District in 2021 as a bus driver. He has since added full-time substitute teacher and maintenance to the many hats he wears in our district.
As a substitute teacher, Mr. Chickering guest teaches in all three buildings. It takes a very flexible professional to be able to teach preschool one day and high school the next but Clark manages it with grace and skill. When he is not teaching, you’ll find him continuing service to the district as a bus driver for morning and afternoon routes or assisting with maintenance needs throughout our facilities.
Clark has been married to his wife, Donna, for 37 years. They have two daughters who are graduates of Harrisburg Schools and they have four wonderful grandchildren. He has served as Pastor of Red Rock Church for the past eight years.
We are very fortunate to have someone with Clark’s expertise on staff at Harrisburg School District. Thank you for the many ways you support our students, staff, and patrons every day. #BulldawgPride
