Southwood's 2025 Turkey Court is in full swing! The competition is heating up between classes and grade levels. Who will be crowned King & Queen for donating the most canned goods overall? There will also be a Prince & Princess for each grade-level's top donators. This is the last weekend to collect canned goods, and a little birdie told us that one of the large retailers in our area has canned goods on sale for 50 cents each. Monday, November 17, 2025 is the last day for students to donate canned goods towards this community project & friendly competition. The Turkey Court Assembly will be held Thursday, November 20, 2025 at 9:30 a.m.
