Mars Area School District students raised a large amount of money for a worthy cause through a recent fundraiser.
Students at the district’s Centennial School and Primary Center together collected nearly $23,000 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 including jump rope and cardio drumming.
Parents were also invited to join in physical education classes over Zoom to participate in the learning process with their children.
