A Heart Healthy Cause

March 12, 2015 By Team Up 4 Community

Wantagh Middle School students collectively raised $9,100 for the AmericanHeart Association’s annual Hoops for Heart event. Julia Wilkinson was the top fundraiser having raised $1,150, with Jack Bruno in second-place ($340) and Tyler Burzenski in third-place ($252). The fundraiser coincided with a basketball fitness unit with physical education teachers Eileen Keener, Tommy Liguori and Gary Reh, who also placed interesting healthy heart facts on the gymnasium walls. A culminating activity included a “Knockout” game tournament with Kyle Graham and Julia Wilkinson demonstrating their athletic skills on the court by taking the lead on the boys and girls teams.
