On Feb. 2, more than 700 students ran in the Great Meadows School District Boosterthon Fun Run.
The event was the culminating event of the 9-day Boosterthon program themed “Backyard Box Office,” where students learned from five real-life, inspiring students, whose world-changing ideas will prepare students to implement their own ideas.

During the Boosterthon program, students at each 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, Independence Central, Liberty Elementary and Great Meadows Middle School are projected to profit more than $10,000 from the Boosterthon Fun Run. These funds raised will go toward purchasing projectors for the physical education teachers at each school.
