More than 150 Barker Middle School students took part in a "Hoops for Heart" benefit on Thursday, March 28, raising $1,785.25 for the American Heart Association. Students donated a minimum of $5.00 to participate in Omnikin Volleyball or Dodge Ball during the last class period before Spring Break.
"It was a little chaotic at times - but it was fun for everyone right before break," said Bruce Parker, Barker Wellness Teacher and coordinator of the annual event.
Pictured with the Omnikin volleyball are (L-R): Heart Association Ambassadors Asjah Holloway and JaliyahSeldon, 3rd place fundraiser Hans Klingenmeier, Wellness Teacher Bruce Parker, 1st place fundraiser Cheyanne Elam, 3rd place fundraiser Molly Heath, and 2nd place fundraiser Dalton Frazee.
