From BRCS,
For the 10th year, Bolivar-Richburg Elementary School partnered with the American Heart Association to raise awareness about the importance of keeping hearts healthy through the annual Kids Heart Challenge.
The Kids Heart Challenge encourages students to focus on whole-body wellness, helping them improve their physical health and develop strong character while raising life-saving donations for the American Heart Association. Funds raised help children who face heart-health challenges and support programs promoting heart health.
Throughout the challenge, students worked to improve their jump rope skills, earning ninja belts in the process. Additionally, all students participated in educational activities, watching videos on performing hands-only CPR and recognizing the signs of a stroke.
Bolivar-Richburg Elementary students and their families raised $11,312.40 for the American Heart Association. The top fundraiser, Levi Miller, brought in $1,126.43, and was rewarded with the opportunity to slime a teacher and toss a pie in the face of another. Six other top fundraisers also had the chance to pie a teacher at the school-wide assembly.
The annual fundraiser is a fun and impactful way for the school community to support heart health while making a difference for kids in need.
