Apalachin Elementary School just made history! Our incredible fourth and fifth graders have proven the power of a dedicated community by raising a spectacular $8,800 for the American Heart Association during this year's Kids Heart Challenge.
But the excitement doesn't stop there. This year’s spectacular effort officially pushes AES past a lifetime fundraising total of $205,100 since the school first launched the event in 1993!
Here is how they did it:
Throughout February, students jumped headfirst into learning about proper nutrition, daily exercise, and hands-only CPR.
The campaign culminated in a high-energy, 90-minute jump-rope event where students showcased serious endurance and even outlasted some of the AES staff!
To honor this amazing dedication, representatives from the American Heart Association and GHS Federal Credit Union visited the school to officially present AES with a brand-new CPR Kit and special goodies for the kids.
