Our district is proud to participate in the American Heart Association’s Go Red District Heart Challenge! We want to inspire staff to get their blood pressure checked, be active and learn about how to keep our hearts healthy. By partnering with the American Heart Association, we will raise awareness and help fight heart disease and stroke, the No. 1 killer and No. 5 killers of Americans.
On Friday, February 1st, National WEAR RED DAY, we will GO RED to support the mission of the American Heart Association – building healthier lives free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke. Throughout this school year, you will receive monthly emails on a variety of health topics. Learn the simple ways you can make big changes with your health.
Together, we will learn about heart health, get our blood pressure checked, and raise lifesaving funds for the American Heart Association. We also have some great incentives and prizes along the way. Go online and donate for your shirt today!
We will be asking EVERYONE in our district to go RED on Friday, February 1st
Please note:
- Shirts must be earned by Thursday, January 10 to receive them in time for our GO RED DAY.
