Boosterthon Fun Run
The Boosterthon Fun Run is a new healthy fundraiser promoting Fitness, Education and Character.
The Boosterthon Fun Run kicked off on September 9 th at 8:30 am with a school-wide pep rally in the gym. The pep rally was an exciting morning with music, pop-up banners, and lots of adrenalin! CDs and pledge cards were handed out and sent home with all the children that explained the program and could be watched with their parents. Students were encouraged to raise pledges supporting their run, but every student was able to participate in the Fun Run and every student received a Fun Run t-shirt regardless of pledges raised.
Throughout the week, the Boosterthon team members taught a character building value to the students. DREAM BIG is the theme this year. They quickly stopped by each classroom for 3-5 minutes throughout the day to record any pledges the students have received and to hand out prizes.
Everything culminated on September 18th with the FUN RUN. All parents were invited to and encouraged to attend. The schedule of the runs was as follows:
8:30 – 9:45 Pre K – K
9:45 – 11:00 1st – 3 rd grades
11:00 – 12:00 4th – 6th grades
The Boosterthon Fun Run was a great time had by all! Student classroom teams like the Mischievous Monkeys, the Wrennegades and the Rascally Rabbits ALL improved their fitness while also having fun with each other and their teachers. After demonstrating their Olympic talents, our students were treated to popsicles to help cool down. Click on the link below to see the SJEDS Fun Run featured on the Channel 4 News!
