PVSchools has proudly announced that Fireside Elementary has emerged as the top-ranking school in Arizona's Kids Heart Challenge. The school has set a new state record and is now recognized as the leading institution among all ten western states for its contribution to the cause. Fireside Elementary raised an impressive sum of $54,197 in donations for the American Heart Association.

The achievement was driven by the efforts of the top three student fundraisers, Lullaby F., Andreas T., and Nikolas T. Their dedication has played a significant role in creating a legacy of lifesavers at Fireside Elementary.

In addition to surpassing its fundraising goal, the school also exceeded its target of 300 student participants. A total of 335 students participated in the challenge, with 86 students completing Finn's Mission while acquiring lifesaving skills such as CPR.

To celebrate these remarkable achievements, Fireside Elementary will host a fun-filled slime celebration and crazy hair day. PVSchools expressed immense pride in Fireside's accomplishments and extended hearty congratulations to the Mustangs.
