Chartiers Valley Primary School was recognized for its awareness and fundraising campaign for the American Heart Association’s Kids Heart Challenge.
Primary School students, families and staff raised $26,068 for the challenge last school year, according to the district.
On Nov. 10, representatives from the American Heart Association visited the Primary School to present a certificate of recognition for the heart challenge. The Primary School ranked seventh in Pennsylvania for funds raised, according to the district.
The Primary School has participated in the Kids’ Heart Challenge for about 20 years. Led by physical education teachers Scott Vaughan and Suanne Estatico, the challenge teaches students about heart-healthy living, hands-only CPR and raises money for the American Heart Association.
