Students in two Mars Area Primary Center classrooms had an opportunity to cover their building principal in silly string on May 17.

During the school’s 2024 American Heart Association fundraiser (Jan. 29-March 1), which collected $15,031.72 for the cause, Jessica Semler set forth a Principal’s Challenge. She offered the class in each grade level, that brought in the highest number of registrants for the Kids Heart Challenge an opportunity to “silly string” their principal.

The winning classrooms were Christine Duff’s AM kindergarten class ($1.964) and Maria Rios’s first grade class ($1,832). Semler also presented first-grader Cole Caruso with American Heart Association Kids Heart Challenge medal for raising $1,409.50 through the fundraiser.
