The entire Sandwich Public Schools Community is encouraged to participate in a a new-old tradition this week. The SHS Athletic Boosters, under the leadership of Jen Hurley, is sponsoring the beloved Thanksgiving morning 5K which brings the town together for a brisk walk/run to start the day.

Then, at 10am, head over to DeConto Memorial Stadium at SHS for the Blue Knight’s Thanksgiving Football Game vs. Mashpee! 

Children 10 and under have the option of participating in the Lil’ Gobbler Run, a short 200-yard fun run staged from the 5K starting line at 7:45am. To participate, children are required to donate one of the following items: roll of toilet paper, bar of soap, or tooth brush.
