David Wong, Physical Education after school coach, said, "Our students have been working really hard to fundraise for children who unfortunately have unhealthy heart conditions. These kids work so hard to fund raise. We try to promote health and fitness through our PE classes, and they did a really good job. They're jump roping, they're. Ski jumping. They take it really serious."

So far, the students have raised nearly $9,000 in donations.
