Aikin students participated in the American Heart Association's Hoops for Heart (HFH) fundraiser. HFH is a national education and fundraising program jointly sponsored by SHAPE America and the American Heart Association. It promotes physical education and provides children with knowledge of heart disease and stroke while raising funds for cardiovascular disease research, stroke research, and health education.
The top fundraisers in each grade will be PE teacher for the day. Students who raised at least $50 received a Hoops for Heart t-shirt in addition to other prizes. PE teachers Eric Hicks, Betty Wallace, and assistant Robin Halcomb conducted the fundraiser.
The top fundraisers (from left) in front are Aiden Jenkins, Evan Bryant, and Grady Welch. On the second row are Isabella Davis, Ayden Wicks, Gage Plata, and Mason Miller. In back are Robin Halcomb, Eric Hicks, and Betty Wallace.
