Weekly Update
In our first four days of the Kids Heart Challenge, we have already raised $2,700 for the American Heart Association. Our top earning classes so far are Mrs. Slavin, Mrs. McPherson, and Mrs. Tyler. Mrs. Robbins will be handing out thank you gifts at the end of each PE class.
Food Drive
Last year, we collected a staggering 3200 pounds of food. This year, we have reportedly donated 4200 pounds of food at just under 4000 items! That means we averaged over 6 items per student in our building! The winning class for K-2 was Mrs. Swanson's class with 471 items. The winning class for 3-5 was Mr. Wheeler's class with 488 items. These donations directly support others in our community. Thank you to everyone who participated!
