Friday, February 11th, 2022—February is commonly known for its Valentine’s Day holiday. A lesser-known month-long awareness is with the American Heart Association and its Heart-Healthy awareness campaign.

This month, Utica Academy of Science elementary school students learned about the importance and value of understanding their emotional-well being and living a heart-healthy lifestyle. Through various hands-on, minds-on activities, the students participated in fund-raising campaigns benefiting the American Heart Association and the Kids Heart Challenge. The ultimate prize was participating in the main event of taping the Dean to the wall.
