Two Regional Schools Celebrate the Launch of Project Fit America

Heartland Foundation and students and staff from Minnie Cline Elementary School in Savannah, Missouri, and Northland Christian School in Kansas City, Missouri, recently celebrated the acquisition of indoor and outdoor exercise equipment made possible through Project Fit America.

Project Fit America (PFA) is a national nonprofit organization that creates sustainable and innovative broad-based fitness programs in schools.  Heartland Foundation has served as the regional sponsor of Project Fit America in northwest Missouri and adjacent counties in Iowa, Kansas, and Nebraska since 1998.
