Oliver Heckman Elementary School students are set to take part in a service project to help sick kids on on Friday.

As part of the Neshaminy school’s Too Good for Drugs Program, the third grade will complete a walk-a-thon at the Oxford Valley Mall. The event raises money to purchase Build-A-Bears for kids in the Pediatric Emergency Unit at St.Mary Medical Center, according to the school district.

The students will also get the chance to travel to the pediatric center to give the donated bears to their sick peers.

The Too Good for Drugs Program helps students make good choices and achieving goals. Each grade sets a specific goal.

For more information on how to help the third-graders, contact teacher Monica Millevoi at 215-809-6330.
