Blockson Middle School -

Tragically, 5 local youth have died from sudden cardiac arrest in recent years, 3 within the last 12 months. It’s time to do something!! Sudden cardiac arrest heartbreakingly takes the lives of thousands of children every year. It is the #1 cause of death for student-athletes. It kills more adults than lung cancer, breast cancer, and AIDS combined, yet most people never receive a heart screening before a crisis occurs. Children aged 14-25 are being offered FREE Heart Screening for risk factors, this Saturday, September 23rd.(see the flyer ) Students can also have their PIAA physical completed for the 2023-24 school year at this event. Sign up immediately, as space is limited. Heart Screening Registration or go to www.RegGregScott.com/Events for more information. Together, we can make a difference! Simon

We recognize, respect, and celebrate the rich heritage and impactful contributions of individuals with ancestral ties to Mexico, Central and South America, Spain, and the Spanish-speaking nations of the Caribbean, whose diverse cultures have significantly shaped the fabric of our country, communities, and educational institutions. #HISPANICHERITAGEMONTH #WEAREBLOCKSON
