So here is what I know. I taught school for 10 years. Kids faint all the time. It is really more common than parents even know. They faint becasue they didn't have breakfast, or they had too much (a sugary cereal can cause their sugar level to spkie then drop suddenly causing fainting). They might faint because their blood sugar is too low or too high. Girls might even be starting to go through their cycle (yes even at 8).
One fainting spell does mean a trip to the doctor. The doctor will say "did she have breakfast? Was she tired? Did she over exhert herself?...Go home and monitor her if it happens again bring her back". So truly, if it a one time thing and there are no residual effects (headaches, glassy eyes, lethagic/lazyness) then chalk it up to stress and move on.
