Hello Carver School Families,
We have officially kicked off the Kids Heart Challenge (KHC) with the American Heart Association, and we need your help! Over the next few weeks students will be learning about heart health and raising awareness for the American Heart Association.
Our school's goal is for every student and family to know Hands-Only CPR and the warning signs of a stroke by completing Finn’s Mission!
PARENTS – HERE’S HOW TO GET STARTED
Step 1. Visit our school’s Kids Heart Challenge page: CARVER'S SCHOOL LINK! SIGN UP TODAY! OR download the AHA Schools app for iPhone or Android to search for our school and sign up!
Step 2. Complete Finn’s Mission!
During the Kids Heart Challenge, your student can earn Heart Heroes who teach them ways for their heart to be healthy! Make sure to check these out on the KHC letter your student is bringing home today.
- All student who registers will be entered into a drawing for a weekly fitness prize! The prizes are playground balls, a fitness watch, and a jump rope.
- All students who register by 3/1 will earn the leadership character Buster. The students who complete Finn’s Mission will earn an ice pop celebration during PE specials.
Why we support the American Heart Association: When cardiac arrests occur outside of the hospital, bystanders only respond 40% of the time. 75% of cardiac arrests occur in the home. Providing Hands-Only CPR immediately can double or triple a person’s chance of survival.
Thank you for joining us and helping our community become lifesavers!
