Kids Heart Challenge!

It’s time for your child to show heart! For the 23rd year, CRS has again partnered with the American Heart Association to educate students about the cardiovascular system while providing information on keeping this essential body system healthy throughout life.  The American Heart Association launched the Kids Heart Challenge, formally known as Jump Rope for Heart.  Kids Heart Challenge is the same as Jump Rope for Heart, only now it aligns more with our Health and Physical Education curriculum. 

This year we have set a goal of $10,000. Last year our students raised an amazing $23,651!!! Churchill Road was #2 in Fairfax County and in the top 20 for the state of Virginia!  It is just another example of how our families value living a healthy and active lifestyle along with the generosity to help a good cause. Our total fundraising over the years have been a whopping $367,945.93!!

Kids Heart Challenge fundraiser forms were handed out to the entire student body in this week’s VIP folder.  Students who choose to participate in the fundraiser will have the opportunity to earn Thank You gifts from the American Heart Association while helping millions across the United States through the American Heart Association.  We are again going 100% online donations this year.  Easy to follow steps have been sent home in VIP folders.  The fundraiser will officially begin on Monday March 4 and end on Friday March 22, 2024.
