OLS School gets a ‘boost’ from fun run

Students at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic School raised thousands of dollars for their school at this year’s Boosterthon fundraiser.

Students reached their pledge goal of $50,000 to help enhance technology and make capital improvements at the school.

The fundraising event lasted nine days, kicking off with a pep rally. To earn money, children asked for pledges on a per-lap basis during the Fun Run or flat-donation basis from friends and family. Students received prizes based on how much they raised, and there was a prize given to the top student collectors in the school.

This year’s theme was Big World Recess, which aimed to build character through sports. Students learned about teamwork, curiosity, practice, humility, confidence and endurance.
