That was a fairly accurate description of the hundreds of white-shirted kindergartners and first-graders who then took off running to raise their heart rates, their spirits and money for both their school and needy children in Guatamala. (2nd-5th graders participated later in the day.)
The Fun Run, hosted by BoosterThon, Inc., which provided those enthusiastic run leaders, raised about $35,000 for the Pearsontown PTA. Additional proceeds will go to playground equipment in Guatamala, courtesy of BoosterThon.
There were plenty of parents on hand to cheer on the kids, as you'll see in the accompanying slideshow.
