On Thursday, Sept. 10, more than 385 students ran in the Boosterthon Fun Run at Prairieview Elementary in Bartlett.

The Boosterthon Fun Run was the culminating event of the nine-day Boosterthon program themed "Big World Recess," where students learned character through sports in other cultures.

During the nine days, students at Prairieview Elementary experienced up-close how sports bring people together. Documentary-style videos taught students how to develop teamwork, curiosity, practice, humility, confidence and endurance through the every day stories of six kid-athletes from around the world.

From the hard work of the students and the community, Prairieview Elementary will profit more than $15,000 from the nine-day fundraiser at the school.

The funds raised by the students will be going directly back to the students, mainly through technology improvements.
