Get excited! It's time for our annual Hoops for Heart Event, that will take place on March 28 during Related Arts classes!  We'd love for you to help support us - our goal is to raise $12,000 again this year and bring awareness to heart disease.

Once again this year we are raising money and awareness for the American Heart Association through our annual Hoops for Heart event!  The event will be held during your child's related arts class on Wednesday, March 28.  Students who donate* a minimum of $10, will come to the gym and participate in our 3-point contest, or watch the contest.  Those students who do not donate*, will do a fun heart healthy lesson in their related arts class.
