Our school is proud to partner with the American Heart Association
Over the next few weeks, we will be learning about how to take care of our hearts, spreading the message to friends and family, and helping others when we can! The American Heart Association will be coming to our campus on 02/02/16 to give our students the 5 For Life presentation – 5 ways kids can make healthy choices!
The American Heart Association’s goal is to improve the cardiovascular health of Americans. They will challenge our kids to start living a healthy lifestyle now to prevent problems later; and give them an opportunity to participate in a service learning project that funds the fight against heart diseases and stroke – the #1 and #5 cause of death in our country.
Any student who registers at heart.org/jump and raises at least $150.00 online BEFORE the 5 For Life presentation will be honored at the assembly and receive Toby (pictured below).
Super Pup’s message is: Give when you can!
Ninja Star’s message is: Be aware of sodium!
Martia N. Mutley’s message is: Eat colorful foods!
Any student raising at least $85 online will receive Martia N. Mutley!
Please join us in teaching our students the importance of being heart healthy for life!
IMPORTANT: ** Donations must be made by 6 PM the day PRIOR to the American Heart Association coming to our campus **
