Heart Health Important At Madison

Posted

Each year Greg Burgher, physical education teacher at Madison Elementary, includes the Hoops for Heart program in his curriculum. Hoops for Heart is an event sponsored by the American Heart Association. The goal is to educate youth on how to make wise heart healthy choices by eating right and getting plenty of exercise. The students set a dollar goal and ask friends and family to donate for each hoop he/she made. The donations go directly to the American Heart Association. Pictured (L to R) are some of the students who participated in this years Hoops for Heart program, front row: Brenna Baney, Sky Knisely, Daniela Parra, MacKenzie Himes, Marina Sanchez, Jozie Mikel; back row: Kacy Bragg, Miguel Huizar, Micah Hall, Jensine Stroh and Karleigh Warren.
