Hoops for Heart Develops Healthy Habits at JFK

Program raises money for heart disease research.

Students at JFK had fun working on their basketball skills during the recent Hoops for Heart educational fundraiser.

The annual event, sponsored by the American Heart Association and the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance, promotes physical activity and healthy habits while raising money for heart disease research. Students rotate among 10 different Hoops for Heart stations during their regularly scheduled physical education classes.
