WE DID IT! KHC ‘24 I’m so excited to say that we met the Kid’s Heart Challenge this year thanks to the help of many of our families. We had 17 students and 1 staff member raise a total of $2042! That’s so AWESOME!!! We also had 54 students register online and 5 students register on paper for a total of 59 registrations. Our goal was to have 50% of the student body register online, and we also met that goal! WOO HOO!!! We couldn’t have done it without the help of each and every parent or family member who took the time to register and/or fundraise. You guys ROCK! The lucky winners of our drawing on 3/25 from the 59 students who were registered were as follows: Liam Carver-JBL flip 3 bluetooth speaker Jeffrey Plummer-Wilson indoor/outdoor basketball Cassie Carver-Rocket stomp launcher Our top 5 fundraisers were as follows: Harper Chubbuck- $413.19 Ella Murphy- $358.55 Sawyer Cotter-Hayes- $252.10 Logan Lachcik- $216.35 Shayne Lachcik- $200.91 We had 1 student complete Finn’s Mission online by completing all 7 challenges of Finn’s Mission, which will give him one entry into the nation-wide sweepstakes for 2 tickets to Super Bowl 2025. Good luck to Sawyer Cotter-Hayes in that drawing. Winners will be notified on July 17, 2024. Our school has now qualified for the $500 certificate from U.S. Games for P.E. equipment. I will be using it to purchase new Wilson basketballs in sizes 5, 6, & 7 (skewed more heavily to the smaller sizes, which we don’t currently have). Thank you again for another successful fundraising year for the American Heart Association and for our school! Mrs. Sturgis P.E. Teacher
