OLS students run for classrooms

Students at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic (OLS) School recently made a mad dash to raise money for their school. To support the school’s annual Boosterthon Fun Run, the children participated in a weeklong fundraiser.

To kick off the event, the entire school attended a motivational pep rally. The students were asked to earn pledges on a per-lap or flat donation basis from their family and friends. Each child had the opportunity to receive prizes based on how much money he or she raised. 

“Our Boosterthon was such a big success,” said PTO president Jen Dent. “Our goal was to net $25,000 after all expenses, and we have well exceeded that goal.”

On the day of the Boosterthon run, friends and relatives came out to cheer on the students. The PTO fundraiser not only provided a means to purchase new computers for the school, but also presented fun for all those who were a part of the event. 

“We are so proud of our students,” Dent said. “It is amazing how much effort and enthusiasm the students and their parents made to help make this fundraiser so successful.”
