Liam HalawithMaroon Echoes Editor On Sunday, November 3rd, runners and support staff gathered in the main corridor of MPCHS waiting to go for a run in the crisp 50-degree weather.
The event was organized by Mount Pleasant teachers Michele Peterson, Rebecca Bos, and Brittney Roberts. Peterson wanted to have a 5k but wanted to help others along the way, “We wanted to promote health and healthy movement.” So after the cancelation of the marching band invitational, they decided on giving part of the proceeds to the MP Music Boosters, and then the After-Prom Raffle for the other part. Registration was $20, and each group received half. Peterson expects to raise more than $100 each group. Mrs. Bos is excited to go on the run with her son Henry, “It’s a great way to get out and move and get healthy while supporting the school and our community.” Those who registered are automatically entered into the After-Prom Raffle to win one of four $500 prizes that will be drawn at a board meeting in December. All Snacks and drinks were donated by Hy-Vee Food Store, here in Mount Pleasant. They provided bananas, granola bars, and water. Some of which were handed to the runners as they finished by Henry Bos! All of the participants were very positive in their experience and hoped to run again next year.
