WOW! THANK YOU to everyone who helped elementary students donate to American Heart Association’s Kids Heart Challenge! We raised an unbelievable $20,000 for the second year in a row, surpassing their original goal of $15,000.
Kids Heart Challenge, formerly Hoops for Hearts, is a program designed to teach our students about people with special hearts, while raising money for healthy hearts everywhere. During the Kids Heart Challenge students are taught the risks of using tobacco, heart conditions, tips for eating healthy, being physically active and managing stress. They are given tools to make decisions that leave them feeling confident in improving and maintaining their own health, while also helping improve the study and treatment of kids and adults with heart disease.. We are thrilled to know that our students, their families, community, and our staff will make an impact with such an exceptional donation. Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible! If you’d like to learn more about healthy living. Kids Heart Challenge website is full of resources that will encourage your family to adapt to a healthIer lifestyle. Ask your student what they learned about making their hearts happy and healthy!
This year’s Top 12 donors are:
1. Izzy Semaan
2. Solly Warye
3. Ayden Henson

Mrs. Watson, High School Counseling department, took a small group of high school students to tour Weidmann Electrical Technology this morning. Students were given a behind the scenes plant tour, learned about their rich history, and explored career opportunities within the company. Weidmann, located in Urbana, has 140 years of experience and leadership in the development, design and operation of electrical transformers. The tour was an excellent opportunity for students interested in diving directly into the workforce upon graduation. Thank you, Weidmann!
