Hydrocephalus Walk Results

Congratulations, Mrs. Lusardo! Not only did your class raise the most money in the 2nd Annual Kids to Cure Hydrocephalus WALK, but you also have the student who raised the most in the school!

Congratulations to both you and Luke Burger! All total, Luke raised $1,225 for the cause, and your class raised $3,115. That is unbelievable, and we couldn't have raised the AMAZING total of $11,000 in the elementary school without each and every student that helped - and especially not without the help of Mrs. Lusardo's Lightning Friends!

Every person with hydrocephalus, including Ema, Steele, and everyone that lives daily with the condition is truly blessed to have such awesome friends and protectors that are their prayer warriors - and can help raise awareness the way you all have.  Each of the students at SBA have learned so many different things about hydrocephalus and how to raise awareness both years we have had the privilege to do this event - what an honor it was to be able to give this award to Ema's class this year. Thank you to each and every student, faculty, and staff member who helped make another successful Kids to Cure event happen this year!  We can't WAIT to see you all again next year.
