Fallston Middle and High School students and faculty welcomed Salva on Thursday, September 15, 2022, for small group student meetings and a special school-wide presentation.

In 2021 when I received the jaw-dropping news that Carlsbad Seaside Academy (CSA) had won the Iron Giraffe Challenge, I was so overcome with joy that I couldn’t speak. Once I got over the shock that Salva was coming to Carlsbad, California, Salva’s team and I started planning the two-day event blitz.

Students at Cascade Christian Junior High School in Puyallup, Washington, participated in the 2021 Iron Giraffe Challenge (IGC) and raised an astonishing $26,000.

We’re sitting down with some of our most passionately supportive educators to learn why they participate in the Iron Giraffe Challenge (IGC).

For this feature, we interviewed Christa Talbott, an educator at Lusher Charter School in New Orleans, Louisiana.
