Students at Riverhead School District’s Aquebogue Elementary School improved their jump shots and their heart health as part of a fundraiser for the American Heart Association’s Hoops for Heart program.
As part of the community service project, students raised $5,024 in sponsorships to make as many jump shots as they could during a 30-minute “Super Shooter” contest on April 9.
Leading up to the culminating event, during the months of March and April students in all grades learned fundamental basketball skills, studied heart health and found ways they could make a difference in the lives of those with heart conditions.
“We are so proud of TEAM Aquebogue, the school where together everyone achieves more,” said the principal, Phil Kent.
