As parents arrived for pick up at Fairmont Elementary School with the music playing, banners flying, and students and teachers dancing in the carline, it could only mean one thing: Boosterthon was back!

This year marked Fairmont’s fourth Boosterthon event and its biggest success ever, raising more than $32,800 in school profit. The fundraiser combines character traits like confidence, humility and curiosity with the importance of being physically active to motivate and excite students and teachers.
