Helen Linden isn't just hooked on hooping, the art teacher at McIntosh Elementary School in the Rockford Public School System in Rockford, Illinois, has been spreading the addiction - to her students. Having literally made hundreds of hoops, including one for each of the seventy-three fifth graders, she's had the kids decorating them in art class. The students from McIntosh, which is located in a high poverty area, won't be in school for World Hoop Day due to summer vacation, so they decided to have their own a few weeks early on May 31st.
