Tiny Toppers Feeling Bubbly for Bubble Run
Community Connections Create Fundraiser Success
October 9, 2023 — Chardon Early Learning Center's Tiny Toppers were bursting with smiles and laughter on Sept. 21 during the 2nd annual "Bubble Run" school fundraiser. Students in both Pre-K and Kindergarten had the opportunity to enjoy the nice weather and move through the “Bubble” course for a block of time. Memories were made while funds were raised to support CELC —the best kind of win-win situation.

Impressively, 116 King Kone gift cards ($10 each) were won — one awarded for every $100 raised. Congratulations to Elena Cogar in Ms. Camille's Pre-K class for being the top school seller. Elena is looking forward to her well-earned prize of riding to school in style on a Chardon Fire Department truck someday soon.
CELC principal Andrea Ryan stated, “Bubble Run 2023 was a huge success thanks to volunteers, families and staff. A special shoutout and thank you goes to the following companies that gave generously to help support our teachers, students and school in this event:
