Mars Area School District students raised a large amount of money for a worthy cause through a recent fundraiser.
Students at the Mars Elementary and Centennial Schools and Primary Center together collected nearly $45,000 to benefit the American Heart Association through the Kids Heart Challenge fundraiser in February.
In addition to collecting donations, students also learned about heart health and participated in a variety of heart healthy fitness activities in physical education class.
The district also held several theme days connected to the American Heart Challenge.
