The Kids Heart Challenge for Annville Elementary students will be held on Friday, January 23, 2026. All students in grades 3 through 6 will participate in several physical activities, including jumping rope, hula-hooping, limbo, shooting basketball, and more!
To assure a positive experience for all, please make sure your child is prepared with sneakers and comfortable clothing. Students may also bring a water bottle to stay hydrated. Sports bottles with closable lids work best as they prevent accidental spills.
If your child has participated in the fundraising portion of the Kids Heart Challenge, donations may be submitted any day this week. “Thank you gifts” (jump ropes, playground balls, T-shirts, etc.) will be delivered about 3 weeks after the Kids Heart Challenge.
Thank you for supporting the American Heart Association and Kids Heart Challenge.

We need volunteers to present Junior Achievement programs in our classrooms.
For as little as an hour a week (5 visits), you can make a difference in the lives of young people in your community.
JA programs provide essential life skills through hands-on educational activities that focus on financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and work readiness.
Our programs empower students to make a connection between what they learn in school and real-world applications, enhancing the relevance of their classroom learning and increasing their understanding of the value of staying in school.
