Fun run motivates students at Schaumburg Christian School

On Friday, Feb. 3, more than 800 students ran in the Boosterthon Fun Run at Schaumburg Christian School.

The Boosterthon Fun Run was the culminating event of the nine-day Boosterthon program themed "Backyard Box Office," where students learned from five real-life, inspiring students, whose world-changing ideas will prepare Schaumburg students to implement their own ideas.

During the Boosterthon program, students at Schaumburg Christian School learned the five steps to making a difference in their community. Five documentary-style videos taught students how to find a need, write a plan, rally a team, launch it now and grit it out through the stories of five kid difference-makers.

From the hard work of the students and the community, Schaumburg Christian School is projected to profit more than $24,000 from the Boosterthon Fun Run.

These funds raised will go toward a new playground and playground renovations at the school.
