Hoops For Heart

Over the past several weeks, our students have been gearing up for our Hoops for Heart event.  Yesterday, this event took place in the high school gymnasium.  We had three basketball games pitting the students against the teachers.  In our 6th grade game, the teachers pulled out a convincing victory, but were not so successful against the 7th or 8th grade teams.  We also had a 3-point shooting contest and a hot shot contest which students participated in.  Our students raised $4,385 for the American Heart Association.  This averages out to more than $10 raised per student.  Overall the event was a great success.  Credit goes to Ms. Getz for organizing the entire operation.
