YMCA NEWS RELEASE

The Family YMCA would like to celebrate the kids in our community who submitted their posters for our American Heart Month 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 judges chose the following winners:

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

4th-6th grade
1st Place: Emma B.
2nd Place: Josie C.

Thank you to everyone 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.
