Congratulations to Noah Webb– Garrett who is a 5th grader and Benjamin Bryant who is in kindergarten at Oxmoor Valley Elementary. Noah was the Top Donator of Hoops For Hearts for The American Heart Association and Benjamin Bryant was the second place donator. The P.E. Department at Oxmoor Valley, Coach Howard and Coach Battle, hosted Hoops For Heart (HFH). Hoops For Heart is a national fundraising program sponsored jointly by AAHPERD and AHA. HFH is a valuable program that promotes physical activity, heart healthy living, and community service to children. Noah Webb said, “ I was very eager to participate in this fundraiser because I wanted to help find a cure for people who have heart disease.” HFH is targeted at students in middle school, but anyone can hold a program at their school, child care center, community center, or anywhere! Special thanks to our principal Dr. Gwendolyn Tilghman who is an advocate for childhood obesity and health awareness.
