Boosterthon Fun Run
We are so excited to bring to Stone
Academy...”Boosterthon Fun Run!” This is going to
be our Fall fundraiser and takes the place of our
previous fundraiser, Innisbrook. The Boosterthon
Fun Run program lasts nine days and has three
parts: Pep Rally, Team Days and Fun Run. This
is a family-friendly, community building event
that includes every student! There is no door-t0door
selling. Students help their school simply
by gathering pledges/donations from friends and
family. Sponsors can pledge a per-lap amount or
flat donation toward that student’s Boosterthon
Fun Run. The lap average for all students (around
our school track) is 25-35.
The Pep Rally is the opening kick-off to
Boosterthon and the Boosterthon team (sent
from Boosterthon headquarters) leads this
exciting assembly-style meeting in the school
gym. The team explains what will be happening
over the next week and also talks about how the
students will learn character lessons over the
next six days. Every student will receive a t-shirt,
an informational pledge pack and their own
personal access code to funrun.com.
The next six days are Team Days. The team
spends a few minutes each day (3-5 minutes) in
the classroom talking about the character theme,
rewarding students for helping their school and
creating a class team with their teacher as the
coach! They pick a team name and create a team
banner.
The Fun Run is the day everyone has been
waiting for! The ‘Boosterthon Speedway’ is set
up early in the morning. When students arrive to
class, they put on their Boosterthon t-shirts and
prepare to come out to the Speedway! Students
run for 30 minutes to upbeat, themed music.
Parents and grandparents line the inside of the
track as the official cheer squad!
As you can see, we are really excited to bring
this fitness emphasis, character program to Stone
as our Fall fundraiser! The dates for our event are
October 10-21, 2011.
