Frisco High Stars Tryouts
American Heart Challenge
We are kicking off the American Heart Challenge at HMS! American Heart Challenge encourages middle and high school students to take heart-healthy challenges and engages them in service-learning activities. As part of this program, the American Heart Association will be giving an interactive presentation at our school on 2/4/2020. During this presentation, students will learn about the dangers of vaping, how to make heart healthy choices, and about the mission of the American Heart Association. Students will be allowed to use their phones to take a heart healthy challenge and share the message of the American Heart Association with others.
We encourage parents to support students as they take heart healthy challenges and raise funds to support the mission of the American Heart Association! Our school has set a goal to raise $10000 donations to fund research, education, and advocacy to create healthier communities! CLICK HERE (http://igfn.us/f/2l96/n) to donate!
