Craig Lower School children are presenting a check for $200.00 to the Gorayeb Children’s Pediatric Cardiology Department at Morristown Memorial Hospital on Thursday, March 27th at 11:00 AM. The money was raised in response to a “Wall of Hearts” the students created in celebration of February as heart healthy month.

The project grew out of Rachel’s Challenge, year long program promoting little acts of kindness, and was led by the “Friends of Rachel” club and Craig’s Lower School Student Council members. Two hearts were sent home to each child’s parents with a request to record kind behaviors and to donate a dollar for each heart. Teachers were also given hearts for helping their colleagues. “It’s amazing the number of little kindnesses that started cropping up among both children and faculty in response to this program,” remarked Phyllis Lakin, Craig’s School Psychologist who helped launch the program.
