SCHUYLERVILLE — The second annual Schuylerville Middle School Booster Bash fundraiser raised a total of $13,097, according to a release from the district. The money will be used for middle school guest speakers, field trips, and end-of-year activities.
Over 198 students registered to participate in the three-week long fundraiser and were awarded prizes throughout the initiative. Students received pledges from 22 different states, the release states. A color run was held on campus to celebrate the conclusion of the school-wide endeavor.
“In just three weeks, our students put in an incredible effort to support their school,” said Principal Katie Elsworth in the release. “The effort and excitement shown during the color run only furthers the positive culture we are continually trying to foster each day. I am very proud of what we accomplished and grateful for the support of our families.”
“This event, while only in its second year, is quickly becoming a beloved middle school tradition,” added Assistant Principal Maddie Wright in the release. “It’s a great way to connect our students to their school community and show what we are capable of doing when we work together. We raised a record amount of funds that students will directly benefit from; we are so proud of this incredible effort.”
