Corporate Landing Elementary School held a schoolwide pep rally on Oct. 31 celebrating raising over $3,500 for the American Heart Association by participating in the Kids Heart Challenge.<\/p>\n

Families and staff participated in the challenge in honor of the school\u2019s dedicated security guard, John \u201cJP\u201d Patterson, who passed away after undergoing heart surgery earlier this school year.<\/p>\n

Students actively participated in the celebration by raising a paper heart in the air each time Mr. JP\u2019s name was said during the ceremony.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>After more than doubling the initial fundraising goal of $1,500, students earned the opportunity to help duct-tape principal Jennifer Haws and PE teacher James Grassano to the wall and pie them in the face.<\/p>\n

Through the challenge, students and families learned hands-only CPR, warning signs of stroke and the benefits of physical activity, while raising funds for children with heart conditions.<\/p>\n
