Turkey Trot
On Thanksgiving, there was a
marathon starting very early in
the morning. It is TURKEY
TROT!!! Thousands of people
attend this annual marathon on
Thanksgiving. This was my
second time volunteering and
thus I wasn’t as lost as the first
time I volunteered. Although the
volunteering was very tiring
both because of the work and
that the fact one needs to wake
up early to start this event, it
was another successful Turkey
Trot in which I had lots of fun.

Braille Bibles
Braille Bibles, a very popular
event in Paschal High School
is still probably one of the
best ways to both gain hours
and have fun without an
overwork load. It happens
every Wednesday after the
meeting with Habitat for
Humanity. The
upperclassmen give you a
ride from and back to Paschal.
When you reach the church,
it is when your bible making
starts. The making works like
that of a conveyor belt and
each person has a job to do at
each “station”. We continue
to work in this fashion until
each bible is done. We usually
make about 2-3 bibles every
time we
do this event so come
join next time for an
awesome experience.

The Poetry Column
When you can’t see the
letter “q” or “w” We braille to “u” right on cue When your house is overcome by mildew And it has become a house needing revalue We come to the rescue Renewing the residue When you don’t have a source of revenue And you’re out on the streets after curfew We serve stew And other things on our menu But sadly there is always too few… When you don’t have a back to support you WE GOT YOUR BACK.
