In February, Churchville Elementary School students helped support the American Heart Association’s Kids Heart Challenge. Students around the country participate in the Kids Heart Challenge to learn about the importance of heart health, exercise and giving back to others. During the event, CES students raised funds to help kids with special hearts, inspired by the school’s very own heart hero Griffin.
This year, 197 students participated in the challenge, raising $22,345.97. Top fundraisers were recognized during a celebratory assembly, and the students who raised the most money were able to take on the titles of “PE teacher for the day,” “Assistant Principal for the day,” and “Principal for the day.”
At the end of the assembly, to celebrate their accomplishment, a few lucky students had the chance to pie CES physical education teachers, classroom teachers, Assistant Principal Kim Giancursio and Principal Kate Daly in the face.
