Last Thursday, I had the opportunity to join members of the Memorial School Family to honor the hard work of Physical Education Teacher Chrissy Horn and the Miscoe Hill Skippers (many of whom are former Memorial School students.)
The American Heart Association held their Heart of Our Mission Award Ceremony on September 27th in Boston. This event was a volunteer appreciation and awards reception celebrating the volunteers that have been instrumental in achieving the lifesaving mission of the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association. Ms. Horn was asked to have the Miscoe Hill Skippers perform at the ceremony before learning that she was chosen as one of the recipients of this award. Of the many thousands of volunteers who give their time to these organizations, only six volunteers are selected annually to receive the Heart of Our Mission Award.
Chrissy Horn is not only a dedicated educator, but gives her time willingly to coach the Skippers, enabling them to develop the skills that will help motivate other students to be fit and live a healthy lifestyle through the Jump Rope for Heart Program. Ms. Horn and the Miscoe Hill Skippers have performed at a number of schools to kick off this important initiative.
Congratulations to Ms. Horn and the Miscoe Hill Skippers for their hard work and this important award.
