KIDS HEART CHALLENGE
Dear Families,
Our Kids Heart Challenge program is kicking off on January 31st! We are proud to support the American Heart Association and Be the Torch in the fight against heart disease and stroke! Students will learn how to keep their hearts happy and healthy through physical and mental well-being while helping others with special hearts by raising lifesaving donations. Our goal is to have 100% of our school families join the team and learn Hands-Only CPR through Finn’s Mission. Don’t wait, get started TODAY! Students who join the team early AND students who complete Finn’s Mission will get recognized at our kick-off!
REGISTER at www.heart.org/khc or download the Kids Heart Challenge App for Apple or Android
TAKE THE CHALLENGE to Move More or Be Kind and earn the FREE Be the Torch Wristband when we kick off!
COMPLETE FINN’S MISSION to learn Hands-Only CPR, how to spot a stroke F.A.S.T., and how you can help kids with special hearts!
