It's not too late to sign up for a Turkey Trot
Come work off those Thanksgiving pounds! Sign up for a Turkey Trot to benefit youth in foster care.
Peacock Acres, a non-profit dedicated to supporting foster children in Monterey County, will host the 6th Turkey Trot for foster youth in their program this Saturday, Nov. 30. The event will be held in Manzanita Park at 17100 Castroville Blvd. in Prunedale. Race day registration will begin at 8:30 am and the race will start at 10:00 am.
Race registration costs $30, and all participants receive a t-shirt. Registration is available online here. This is a pet- and family-friendly event, and participants are strongly encouraged to bring their four-legged friends.
Proceeds from the Turkey Trot will benefit a new project, The Learning Center at Peacock Acres. The Learning Center is designed to guide foster youth toward completing their high school requirements and preparing them for independent adult life. The unique educational needs and classroom challenges shared by students in foster care are often overlooked, and the Learning Center will increase the chances for personal fulfillment, economic self- sufficiency, and positive contribution to society in the foster youth who participate. A portion of proceeds from this event will also help us provide holiday gifts for our youth.
Peacock Acres has been providing therapeutic foster care since 1980 and currently operates four residential programs: Therapeutic Group Homes for boys age 7-17; Incarceration to Success for boys ages 16-19; Transitional Housing Placement Program for foster teens ages 16-18; and the Peacock Acres Transitional Housing program for emancipated foster youth ages 18-24.

MPUSD officials still want your input in superintendent search
Last week, trustees with the Monterey Peninsula Unified School District zeroed in on the consulting firms they want to hear from before hiring the one that will conduct the superintendent's search.
And the winners are: The Cosca Group; Dave Long & Associates; Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates; and Leadership Associates.
You may remember that the consulting firm trustees retained last time did not seem very thorough when vetting its candidates. So the right consulting firm is crucial. If you're inclined to hear them personally, they're scheduled to make a presentation on Dec. 11.
Incidentally, trustees continue to seek community input for the qualities everyone wants to see on a new superintendent, and they continue to announce a survey will be launched soon to gather more community input. I checked late Monday, and the survey was still not posted, but you never know. If you want to see if it's out yet, check it out here.
And the wheels keep turning...
