"The Tiger Trot is a great way for us to gather together as a school and participate in a fun activity for a good cause," Nickerson said. "Thank you to everyone who donated.”
Last week’s Tiger Trot was open to all Malcom White students. It gave students the opportunity to run, walk or skip through as many laps as they could during a 15-minute window, as noted in a pre-event announcement from the Malcom White Parent Teacher Organization.
