The Boosterthon Fun Run is a nine-day program that helps local schools raise needed funds for education while inspiring students to live healthy, character-filled lives.
The Camp High Five theme of this year included daily character lessons that teach the value of respecting others, not bullying and showing sportsmanship. Each lesson is paired with a daily hand gesture that helps make it memorable. The message is also reinforced through a curriculum that includes interactive character videos, catchy songs and a brand-new children's book.
When children adopt treating others with respect into their daily interactions, their behavior changes. As friendship increases, bullying fades away.
The weeklong event culminated in a fun run, where the students ran for pledges and for their parents in the gym.
