February is American Heart Month. To bring attention to heart health, nearly 400 schools in the Middle Tennessee area will teach heart health and emphasize the importance of physical activity, including 19 Williamson County schools.
Students will raise awareness for heart health through American Heart Association Jump Rope for Heart events and raising funds for the association’s research.
