Happy Heart Run is THIS THURSDAY, Feb. 25th!
A Few More Volunteers Needed to Pass Out Fruit & Drinks
 Our 14th annual Happy Heart Run is THIS Thursday, Feb. 25th, during PE classes. Students, make sure you are well-rested, hydrated and have a good breakfast so you're ready to run!
We still need a few more volunteers to take a 1-hour shift passing out fruit, water & sports drinks to students. It's fun and easy, and supports our PE department!
 Funds raised through this annual event make it possible for our Physical Education Department to provide swim instruction and specialized fitness equipment to supplement P.E. standards and get students excited about fitness.
Thank you for your support!
