YMCA News:

As February (American Heart Month) draws to a close, we would like to celebrate the kids in our community who have submitted their poster in our competition on how to stay, “Heart Smart” all year round.

The Family YMCA gave a challenge earlier this month to our community’s kids (Kindergarten-6th grade) to make posters that creatively teach about ways of fighting heart disease and living a healthy life!

The competition was very close but after much deliberation our judge chose the following:

K-3rd grade winners:

1st Place: Lasya K.
2nd Place: Angelica F
3rd Place: Ella B.

4th-6th grade winners:

1st Place: Emma B.
2nd Place: Josie C.

Thank you to ALL the kids that submitted these wonderful posters, they will be on display for the next two weeks as a reminder that staying Heart Smart is a year round activity!
