GWL Boosterthon – Schoolwide Fun Run!

On Monday, October 2, 2023, the sun came out for all Pre-K-5th grade students at Glenwood Landing School to participate in the annual Boosterthon, an outdoor schoolwide event that promotes fun, running, health, and wellness!

Under a gigantic arch of maroon and white balloons, the upper back field of Glenwood Landing School was transformed into a high-energy racetrack for all the GWL students to enjoy!  

Principal Bridget Finder along with her physical education teachers not only led students in the fun Boosterthon races, but along with GWL faculty, parents, and family members could be seen cheering on the students and giving out pom-poms as they happily ran, skipped, or walked laps around the track of cones! You could hear and see the joy on the students’ faces as they challenged their fellow students to race to the finish line!  

Thank you to the GWL School-Community Association (SCA), GWL physical education teachers, and GWL parents and families that made this schoolwide fun and wellness fundraiser possible! Everyone at Glenwood Landing School had a great time and it was extremely successful, raising upwards of approximately $30,000!
