Dear Parents,
We are proud to announce that our school will be participating in Kids Heart Challenge this year from Feb 2-15. When your student joins our school's team, they will learn how to keep their hearts and brains healthy, get moving with fun activities, meet kids with special hearts and raise funds for the health of all hearts. Plus, they'll feel good for doing good! Our school can also earn PE equipment and your child can earn fun thank you gifts.
Everything can be done easily online with our Kids Heart Challenge app or website (heart.org/schools). Send emails, texts, and post social media messages to collect donations online.
With a $10 online donation, students will receive "Spark" and "Skip", two of the Heart Heroes, plus, a free wristband just for registering online! The remaining Heart Heroes can be earned instantly and will be passed out right away. The rest of the thank you gifts will be distributed after our event concludes. Let's do it for Coach!
Sincerely,
Coach Potochney
