After a joint start with the two-school song, which was newly composed by a teacher from the Fröbelschule, and a rhythmic rap, the runners began to complete their laps. In an exuberant atmosphere, many kilometers were run for a good cause. Some sporting talents were discovered, but the joy of the common cause and the commitment were the main focus.
Family, friends and acquaintances sponsor pupils
In the run-up to the event, the pupils looked for sponsors from their families, friends or school who would pay them an amount of their choice per lap. As a result, the pupils from both schools raised around 7,500 euros.
The proceeds will be split: At the Schule am Favoritepark, a portion goes to the school's support association, while the second portion is used to support the food banks in Ludwigsburg. The Fröbelschule also donates a portion to its support association and the second portion to the children's and youth hospice.
Another charity run is planned for next year. "More ideas for the 2025 run have already emerged, there couldn't be better feedback," says Peter Krause, head of special education at the school in Favoritepark.
