A healthy heart can result in many benefits.
The Crim Primary School is one hearty example.
Crim received a $160 grant from the American Heart Association in collaboration with KPMG in recognition of its participation in the Kids Heart Challenge.
Katie Farina, the Development Director, School Engagement for the American Heart Association, presented the check and certificate at Crim on the morning of Wednesday, May 28.
On hand at the presentation were the Crim Principal, Kelliann Ten Kate, Crim Health and Physical Education Teachers, Elyse Omerza, Mark Staudt and Bryan Hedgecock, and Dave Guglietti, the Bridgewater-Raritan Regional School District Supervisor of Health and Physical Education.
“This grant reflects the school community’s incredible efforts to promote heart health and wellness among students, and it’s my honor to help pass along this support as a representative of KPMG. It is also an honor to work with your school; we notice your community and students and are so appreciative of all the efforts put into your event this year,” Miss Farina stated.
Ms. Farina added:
"We’re grateful for your dedication to student well-being and proud to support the great work being done at Crim!”
