Keane Elementary School kids care about their hearts and want to do everything they can to keep them healthy.  They learned a little bit more about how to do that at Family Sweetheart Night held at the school recently.

The students received many health tips on food, exercise and yes, dental care.  They learned that fruits and vegetables are more heart healthy snacks than cookies and candy.  Exercise can be fun while at the same time keeping the heart healthy and strong.  Keeping teeth clean by brushing at least twice a day also helps to keep the heart healthy.

The event was sponsored by the Keane PPT/PTO.  Many groups helped to make the event a success including Cornell Cooperative Extension, Girls Incorporated, Emblem Health Services, Zippy the Clown, Applebees, American Heart Association and all of the staff members and parents of Keane.
