Written by Mikaylla Hiegel

Bryan Akins and his wife Jessica lost there daughter Madison Avery Akins due to hypoplastic left heart syndrome, an upside down heart. Hoops for hearts is an event to raise money for the American heart association. That will help to fight against heart diseases. This event is a competition between usd259 district school and a few others. They want to see what school can raise the most money.

The competition starts differently at each school. We will start next week and run through game night on the 31st of January. There is going to be an assembly that students can buy tickets to. Akins is hoping to reach over 5000 dollars by the 31st so come help out and buy a ticket on January 31st.

Heights students can help by buying the t-shirts or donating change. The students can also participate in a club or team change drive; students can also buy a ticket to the assembly.
