During lunch that day, students will be able to participate in a healthy heart trivia contest as part of our ongoing school spirit contest. Furthermore, students will be treated to a healthy lunch provided by Maschio's Food Service and will also participate in fun cardiovascular activities during their physical education classes! Have a great weekend!
