Westhampton Beach Elementary School students recently raised over $30,000 for their school through a Bubble Run and Raise Craze fundraiser.

As part of the fundraiser, students secured sponsorships to run in the Bubble Run and donations by promising to perform acts of kindness in return. They completed a multitude of individual and schoolwide good deeds, including writing cards to residents of local assisted living facilities, helping to pick up trash, collecting crayons for homeless shelters and sharing positive messages.

The fundraiser culminated with Principal Jeremy Garritano getting slimed. He agreed to be slimed if students met their fundraising goal.

The funds will be used to purchase STEM equipment and upgrades to the school’s greenhouse, as well as provide for field trips.
