Get Ready, Kids Heart Challenge is Coming
Dear Leola Elementary families,
Ms. Julie Boerhave will be live and in-person for our 2023 Kids Heart Challenge kickoff on Tuesday, January 24th, at 2:45PM!
The Leola School District is getting ready to kick off the Kids Heart Challenge adventure with the American Heart Association, and we need your help! Over the next few weeks students will be learning about how to take care of their heart, raising awareness and funds for the American Heart Association. Our school's goal is to have 40 students to complete Finn's Mission.
HERE’S HOW TO GET STARTED:
1. Go to www.heart.org/khc or Visit our school’s Kids Heart Challenge page: http://www2.heart.org/goto/LeolaElementarySchoolLeolaSD
OR download the Kids Heart Challenge App for iPhone or Android to search for our school and sign up!
2. Complete Finn’s Mission – this will be your map! Your family will learn the lifesaving skills of Hands-only CPR and the FAST signs of a Stroke. For every $50 of lifesaving donations that students raise, they will earn a Mystery Gift too - It’s a surprise to see what’s inside!
Why we support the American Heart Association: About 90% of people who suffer out-of hospital cardiac arrests don’t survive. CPR, especially if performed immediately, can double, or even triple a cardiac arrest victim’s chance of survival.
Ms. Julie Boerhave a heart survivor herself will be kicking off Our Kids Heart Challenge on Tuesday, January 24th at 2:45PM - so get a jump start today by registering your student online!
