ATTENTION Montclair Families
Do you have great ideas to help raise money for our Children, Teachers, and School? Please share your ideas with us and be a part of our AWESOME group. This is no small task and Montclair Elementary needs all the help we can get.
Our goal to raise by the end of the school year is $14,000.
This will help support our classrooms which is $3,900,
Enrichment programs for the school $5,000,
Scholarship $1500, and teacher requests which is whatever the teachers feel like they need to benefit the classroom and the children to enhance their learning experience. $ 3,000.
Our meeting isn’t until January 27th but we need as many ideas as we can get way before then.
You can email your ideas to deanahammond@hotmail.com. Or text at 402-216-1523.

Kids Heart Challenge (formerly Jump Rope for Heart)
We are kicking off our Kids Heart Challenge program (formerly Jump Rope for Heart) on January 6th We are thrilled to participate as we work together to raise money for the American Heart Association and learn how nutrition and being active can help us live longer, healthier lives.
Through the Kids Heart Challenge, we are going to talk about three things:
1. Habits to keep our hearts healthy
2. How we can help others
3. Encourage everyone to take the challenge to adopt one of three healthy habits
This year we are excited to welcome the Heart Heroes to our school. Over the next few weeks, the characters will share important messages about keeping their heart healthy, building self-confidence and helping others. The first step is getting your student registered and taking a challenge. When they register, they will receive their free wristband and join the Heart Heroes!!! If we can get 50% of our students registered to take the challenge our school will receive $500.00 in PE equipment!!!
1. Go to www.heart.org/khc register your student for our Kids Heart Challenge
2. Choose your challenge
a. MOVE MORE
b. BE KIND
c. BE READY
3. Earn your free glow-in-the-dark Heart Hero wristband
4. Download the Kids Heart Challenge app to bring the wristband and any Heart Heroes to life.
Your student can earn the Heart Hero characters and additional gifts by asking friends and family to make donations in the support of the American Heart Association.
Thank you so much for supporting our school and the American Heart Association.
Together we can do this!
