TUPELO, Miss. (WCBI) – Students at one Tupelo school raised money for their PTA by exercising. First and second graders at Carver Elementary spent some time running laps as part of the annual “Turkey Trot” fundraiser. Parents and friends pledged money for each lap walked or jogged and students were able to learn about the benefits of exercise.

“We can start children early learning that exercise and fitness is fun and it’s also important in their development and it has shown that movement helps with learning.”
