READING, Pa. – Lauer’s Park Elementary School in Reading is giving students a taste of Puerto Rican tradition before they taste their Thanksgiving turkey.<\/p>\n
The school hosted a Puerto Rican-style turkey run, otherwise known as “La Carrera del Pavo.”<\/p>\n
153 Lauer’s Park students who had perfect attendance for the first quarter took part in races. The winners get a turkey to enjoy with their families.<\/p>\n
“We had 153 students who had perfect attendance for the first quarter, which, yes, it’s a great accomplishment. A lot of healthy kids and not only healthy physically, but very resilient, so we’re very proud of their accomplishment,” said Jasmin Sanchez-Lopez.<\/p>\n
This is the first year the school put its own twist on this tradition.<\/p>\n
Organizers say around 60 students won turkeys today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"READING, Pa. – Lauer’s Park Elementary School in Reading is giving students a taste of Puerto Rican tradition…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34603,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[21587,28,736,128,130,129,1274],"class_list":["post-34602","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-reading","tag-lauer","tag-pennsylvania","tag-reading","tag-reading-city","tag-reading-city-headlines","tag-reading-city-news","tag-thanksgiving"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34602","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34602"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34602\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34603"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34602"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34602"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34602"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
