Children's Healthcare Benefits From Alpharetta School's Bike-A-Thon

Alpharetta Christian Academy (ACA) actively teaches children to give back to the community in an age appropriate manner. This fall, ACA went beyond its typical service project to hold 3 fundraisers to help others in need.

Most recently, children age three and up rode their bicycles and scooters in a bike-a-thon to benefit Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA).

Throughout the week, each class had a scheduled time to ride to help other children. Thanks to the efforts of children, parents, and teachers, ACA raised $4352 to give to CHOA.

According to CHOA, this money “will be used to help pay for healthcare for a child whose family otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford to have them treated.”

Earlier in the fall, the school held a hat day for CURE Childhood Cancer and raised $1525 and an Ice Bucket Challenge for ALS which received $800. Ms. Klaus’s kindergarten class explained their efforts by saying, “Serving is a way we show others that we love them!”
