South Topsail Elementary School, led by Jarrett Brobst, PE Teacher, raised over $21,000 for the American Heart Association through their Kids Heart Challenge campaign. Students were taught the three reasons for the campaign - helping others, getting fit, and having fun - and participated in various heart healthy exercises during their PE classes.
Stingray families shared information about the campaign through emails and social media and were able to raise one of the largest amounts of money for the campaign within the state of North Carolina! Students at each grade level who raised the most were able to participate in "Slime Time" where they slimed Mr. Brobst. The event was livestreamed for the school.
