National Junior Honors Society members at WPJH gathered on Thursday, October 29, 2026, to create sock snowmen and write letters of encouragement for a local family in need. The activity supports the West Point Turkey Trot, an annual event that donates 100% of its profits to a sponsored family.
This year, the Turkey Trot is sponsoring a woman named Brittney and her family. According to a November 6 report, Brittney has been battling cancer while raising a young family. The sock snowmen created by students will be sold via raffle during the event to provide direct funds to the family.
The West Point Turkey Trot consists of a 5K run and a 1-mile walk held on Thanksgiving Day. Individuals can support the cause by participating in or volunteering at the event.
The student activity allowed National Junior Honors Society members to practice creativity while giving back to the community.
