Forest Oaks Boosterthon 2
Students of Forest Oaks Elementary School recently participated in a Boosterthon Fun Run as a fundraiser for the school.
The Boosterthon team focused on teaching kids about the importance of fitness, leadership and character. This year’s character campaign, Camp High Five, was all about friendship and teaching students several mottos: Respect Others, Don’t Bully, Shout Out Strengths, Stick Together and Show Sportsmanship.
Sponsors were asked to pledge a dollar amount per lap or pledge a flat donation. Students were challenged to reach a goal of $48,000 in total pledges in order to see their principal, Dr. Resia Brooks, and assistant principal, Stevi Sims, taped to the flagpole.
The goal was reached, and Brooks and Sims were taped to the flagpole the following Friday. Funds raised through the Fun Run will be used to purchase a new playground and technology for the new school, which will be opening soon.
