Elko Teacher Honored with Kids Heart Challenge Legacy Award
Generations of Elko, NV, students have learned healthy living skills, thanks to a dedicated educator and a 2021 American Heart Association Legacy Award honoree. Mike Brown recently retired after teaching at Grammar #2 and Northside Elementary schools since 1987. In that time, Mike utilized the AHA’s youth-oriented programs to teach students how physical activity and healthy eating can help their heart, bodies and minds. From 1987 to 2020, Mike and his students raised more than $128,000 for the AHA.
