Bluffton-Harrison Elementary School recently raised $9,000 for the Kids Heart Challenge to raise money for children who have heart issues and are in need of medical care. The goal was exceeded by $2,000, so the students were rewarded with a pie-in-the-face convocation Thursday morning. Above, Kindergartener Caven Brown holds up a pie of whipped cream to the face of Bluffton-Harrison Elementary School teacher Thad Harter Thursday morning to celebrate exceeding a fundraising goal for the Kids Heart Challenge. At left, physical education teacher Craig Helfrich, who organized the event and was also pied in the face, reacts as teacher Joey Villanueva is slapped with a pie. More photos on Page 5.
