COMMACK SCHOOLS

Rolling Hills kindergartners got their blood pumping for a good cause before school on Tuesday.

The youngest primary students participated in the American Heart Association's Kids Heart Challenge in the gymnasium.

Among the fun, relay-style activities: an egg and spoon race, pancake flip race, horse race and ice cream cone relay.

By joining the Kids Heart Challenge, students learn how to keep their heart, body and brain healthy — while helping kids with special hearts live longer, healthier lives. It’s a fun and meaningful way to teach lifelong habits of health and helping others.

Rolling Hills first- and second-graders have their opportunity during upcoming Tuesdays.
