Kelly Mill Elementary in Cumming hosted the Boosterthon Fun Run event on October 2. The Boosterthon Fun Run was a 9-day program that raised funds for the school, while inspiring students to live healthy, character-filled lives.
1,100 students participated in the Fun Run event and raised over $51,000 for science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
The Camp High Five theme this year included daily character lessons that taught the value of friendship. Each lesson was paired with a daily hand gesture that helped make it memorable to the students. The message was also reinforced through a curriculum that included interactive character videos, catchy songs, and a brand-new children’s book.
This school year, Boosterthon’s new character theme, Camp High Five, will challenge 700,000 students in 22 states to move from classmates to friends with a summer camp theme all about friendship.
