February is American Heart Month, a chance for all people to recognize the importance of cardiovascular health.

Madison Elementary P.E. Teacher Katie Gravert says this month, students at all three elementary schools in the Pella School District are raising funds for the American Heart Association through the Kids Heart Challenge. Gravert says in addition to the cause, classes are focused on teaching healthy habits for heart health, including lessons about exercise and diet.

Last year, the Pella School District raised $30,000 to support the cause. Hear more about from students at Madison Elementary participating in the Kids Heart Challenge at Pella Community Schools on today’s Let’s Talk Pella.
