Burke Boosterthon Fun Run Inspires Students to Build Character Through Sports


Sept. 18, more than 780 students ran in the Boosterthon Fun Run at Keene Mill Elementary. On Sept. 30, more than 700 students ran in the Boosterthon Fun Run at Eagle View Elementary.

The Boosterthon Fun Run was the culminating event of the nine-day Boosterthon program themed "Big World Recess," where students learned character through sports in other cultures.

During the nine days, students at both schools experienced up-close how sports bring people together. Documentary-style videos taught students how to develop teamwork, curiosity, practice, humility, confidence and endurance through the everyday stories of six child-athletes from around the world.

From the hard work of the students and the community, Keene Mill Elementary will profit more than $20,000 from the nine-day fundraiser at the school. The funds raised by the students will be going towards building a new playground.

In addition, Eagle View Elementary is also set to profit more than $20,000 from the nine-day fundraiser. The funds raised will be used to fund the PTA budget for the year.

This cost the taxpayers far more due to lost instructional time if this was done during the school day.

The Money is required to go into a school account, NOT a PTA account.

They take 48% of the money - Exploit the children for money.

Eagle view will not have a $20,000 profit...more like $9,000....what a joke!
