Anderson PTO Fun Run is a shining success

The sun was shining on the Anderson Fun Run, making for a beautiful day to be outside.

The annual fun run fundraiser is organized by the Anderson PTO and has many wonderful benefits for the students besides raising money for the school. The fun run is a great opportunity for students to get outside, exercise and have fun with their classmates.

The Anderson Fun Run is not just a regular race, but a fun-filled event with many different activities and challenges for the students to enjoy.

The Booster Thon Videos, which are a part of the fun run, teach students about different character traits all week. This helps to instill important values in the students while also promoting a healthy and active lifestyle.

The students build unity with their classmates and have a great time enjoying the silly challenges throughout the run. These challenges include a skip lap, a dance lap and a buddy lap, just to name a few. The Anderson Fun Run is a great way for students to bond with each other while also getting exercise and fresh air.

Parents and community members also play a crucial role in the success of the Anderson Fun Run. They come out to cheer on the students and create a festive atmosphere for the day. This not only shows support for the students but also helps to build a sense of community within the school.

This year the event was able to raise over $13,000 to help offset the costs of field trips and assemblies.
