“We only have one heart!  Heart Disease can happen to anyone, so it’s really important to be physically active and eat healthy.  Did you know that heart disease is our nation’s number one killer? Help me become a lifesaver!”  That was Coach Ian Platt’s plea to students to get the ball rolling at WOMS.  Coach Teresa Smith and Coach Regina Fields also participated in the Hoops for Heart events.  Westover Middle students raised $1226 for the American Heart Association!
