Hugoton Elementary School was recently recognized for hosting the top “Hoops for Heart” event during the 2014-2015 school year. Hoops for Heart took place in April, and HES students collected a whopping $10,965 to donate to the fight against heart disease. Hoops for Heart events take place all across the United States. Students play basketball and raise money for the American Heart Association. For more information, visit heart.org.
Intermediate School Principal Larry Lyder and American Heart Association’s Senior Youth Director for Western Kansas Jennifer Thompson congratulated the HES kids and coordinator Ms. Terri Daniels for all their hard work last year!
