We had a great week with Boosterthon at Camp High Five.  Our Fun Run was this morning and everyone had a great time!  Click on Fun Run to see a short video of the morning. 

Tomorrow, Friday, January 17, is our Boosterton Fun Run! Our run times will be: 

8:30 - 2nd and 3rd grades

9:35 - K and 1st grades

10:40 - 4th and 5th grades

Students will wear their white Fun Run t-shirts. Teachers have these for their students.

There will be bags lunches on Friday and  there will be a water station outside so students do not need to bring their own water.

There will be one last huddle on Friday after you run!

Your student will bring home collection envelopes for you to send in your pledges.  

Our Boosterthon kicked off today with a Pep Rally for all students and staff held in the Forest Lake Park gym. Camp High Five is off and running!  Students have all the information they need in their folders or back packs today!  Plus, they have a challenge to begin taking pledges!  All of the information you need is contained in the pamphlet. Stay tuned for daily updates! 

The District's Magnet Choice window opened yesterday, January 7, and will remain open until 5 PM on January 31, 2014.  Visit the district's web page for all information regarding the RSD2 Magnet and Choice policies. 

Forest Lake Elementary will be conducting school tours every Wednesday during the month of January at 9 am. Contact Dr. Bosier by email (cbosier@richland2.org) or phone (803-782-0470) to get information or sign up for a tour.

2013-2014 Fundraiser!

The Boosterthon Fun Run Program is a healthy alternative to traditional product sales that raises much needed funds for our school and many others across America.  The Boosterthon program also promotes three specific values during the fun-filled experience: Fitness, Leadership, and Character.

This year's character theme is Camp High Five, and it's all about FRIENDSHIP!  But not just developing the friendships students already have; it's about viewing EVERYONE as a friend, no matter who they are, or 

how different they may first appear to be.

Boosterthon Fun Run Basics

The event will kick off with a 30 minute school-wide Pep Rally on January 8, 2014 at 1:45 pm and conclude on January 17, 2014 with the Boosterthon Fun Run event.

Students will run between 30-35 laps.  35 is the lap max.

Every student participates in the Fun Run, regardless of pledges raised, and receives a daily character sticker and access to Boosterthon character resources. 

Enter your pledges at FUNRUN.com.  Each student has his/her own safe and secure Boosterthon Fun Run webpage to log in pledges and watch character videos.  Sponsors will also have the ability to pay their pledges online.  

The Boosterthon Fun Run team spends 300 hours organizing the event, freeing up our teachers and administrators to focus on education.
