The annual Kids Heart Challenge, sponsored by the American Heart Association, was held recently at Cross Creek Elementary.  Many of our students participated in this fun and challenging way to learn how to take care of their hearts and to help others by raising money for the American Heart Association.  Students learned of other children who were born with heart issues that prohibit them from being able to participate in different activities.

This year, $4,073.00 was raised by students.  Our top fundraiser was Anna Glass.  Abbie Griffis, Darious Davis, and Dawson Strickland rounded out the top four fundraisers.  Students who raised $100 were able to throw a pie in the face of one of the coaches.  Students who raised $200 were able to throw a pie in the face of all three coaches.  We appreciate all of the community support in donating to this worthy cause.
