Upsala Area Schools

We officially completed this year’s American Heart Association Kids Heart Challenge to raise money for kids with special hearts. Our K-6th graders did an amazing job and raised a total of $2,955.82! Our top fundraisers were Makena Lange ($547.54), Harris and Hayes Fletcher ($257.03-each), and Kennerly Nohner ($141.45). Thank you to everyone that donated! The students that completed Finn’s Mission had the opportunity to slime some volunteers this morning as well! Thank you so much to those volunteers!!!
