Schools nationwide participate in the annual Kids Heart Challenge, where students participate in heart-healthy physical activities and raise money for the American Heart Association.
Waitsburg's kindergarten through fifth-grade students spent Valentine's Day morning jumping rope, hula hooping, playing multiple shooting games, dribbling, participating in passing drills, and enjoying a healthy snack of apples and oranges.
This year, the school offered an incentive for students who raised $100 or more. Those who reached the goal won the opportunity to slime P.E. teacher Maia Fastabend and paraeducator John Langford. Over 40 students participated in the slime assembly on Friday, February 16.
Kindergartner Kennedy Henze earned the privilege of being a P.E. teacher for a day after she raised $1,046 as the school's top fundraiser.
The top three student fundraisers, Henze, Phoenix Stahl, and Israel Stahl, earned a Kids Heart Challen Buster keychain. They will join their kindergarten classmates, the top fundraising class, for an ice cream sundae party.
