HMS receives grant for fitness instruction

Blue Cross and Blue Shield recently visited Homewood Middle School to present the school with a check for $9,500. 

The funds were awarded for a grant proposal written by Carissa Anthony, prevention and development coordinator, and Nivada Spurlock, wellness coordinator, to implement a fitness-based instruction focus for sixth graders. 

BCBS representative, Jeff Adams and other local dignitaries presented the check to HMS.
