Avila University Playground

 (Avila Students bringing fun to the SOF with a hula hoop.)

     Adrian Rivera lounges in the shade to keep cool in the blazing heat; while Joan Kessler passes the time with a little physical activity. Hula hooping, mostly considered to be a childhood pastime is made cool again by Avila students. Rivera and Kessler talk about the newest student led organization, Hula Hoop Club. The club isn’t a set in stone agreement, more of an open party for whoever wants to join. A small group of students gets together a few times a month to learn new moves, socialize, and have a good time.  Heather Cartwright, the head honcho of the group wants to take things to the next level by incorporating LED and fire hoops into choreographed routines (maybe something to look forward to in the future.) Until then, hula hooping is a great way to relax and get a good laugh in before class!
