TURKEY CUP CHALLENGE-Heritage is a three-peat winner!

Thank you for your participation in this very important & FUN fundraising event to help provide Holiday food for thousands of families in need throughout Westmoreland County.

Heritage Elementary families donated $11,210.62 and earned the 1st place trophy for a third year in a row as the school to donate the most money in the entire county. On December 7th, representatives from the Westmoreland County Food Bank visited Miss Weaver's 3rd grade class (class that raised the most money) to present our school the 1st place trophy. In return, we presented the Westmoreland County Food Bank a check for $11,210.62. Make sure to check out the trophy in our display case when you enter the front doors of our school. 

The total amount raised amongst all of the Westmoreland County schools for this year's Turkey Cup Challenge was $29,072.49. 

For every $1 donated, the Westmoreland County food bank is be able to purchase $10 worth of food, that's over $290,000 worth of food!
