Our school is getting ready to kick-off KIDS HEART CHALLENGE! This service-learning program from the American Heart Association (formerly Jump Rope For Heart) teaches your student how to care for their hearts both physically and emotionally and teaches the importance of giving back by raising lifesaving donations to fight the nation’s #1 killer, heart disease!
Before we kick off the Kids Heart Challenge at school on January 21 we encourage you register with your student to take a challenge to stay healthy this year. The three challenges are:

During the kick-off we will talk with our students about the work the AHA does and challenge students to start living a healthy lifestyle with the help of our friends, the HEART HEROES!
Meet the new Heart Heroes and learn their heart healthy messages here:
Kids Heart Challenge – Heart Hero Characters Introduction
ANY student who takes the KIDS HEART CHALLENGE online will earn a FREE wristband to wear proudly! Once your student collects a donation (optional) they will start earning their own Heart Heroes and a backpack clip for them to hang on! ALL of our Heart Heroes (and the wristband!) will COME TO LIFE and share their heart healthy messages with your student! To bring characters to life you must use the FREE mobile app: Kids Heart Challenge
If that wasn’t exciting enough, we are offering a special incentive to students who start collecting donations early!
