Kids Heart Challenge - A Community Service Opportunity
The Kids Heart Challenge - This is our last week
Thanks to our friends at the American Heart Association, all families can be prepared in case of an emergency. We encourage everyone to take a moment to learn Hands-Only CPR – a simple, effective way to save a life!
- Join our School’s Kids Heart Challenge Team at our Website, http://www2.heart.org/goto/glenknoll or by downloading the free AHA Schools App for Apple or Android
- Click the “Hands-Only CPR” Badge located in Finn’s Mission to watch the video (only 1 ½ mins!)
- Share this life-saving skill with Family Members and Friends
Immediate Hands-Only CPR can double or even triple a person's chance of survival after sudden cardiac arrest. This season, we invite you to enjoy the American Heart Association’s "Don't Drop the Beat" playlist. All songs on this playlist are between 100 - 120 beats per minute, the same rate at which you should perform compressions when administering CPR.
Let’s work together to make sure everyone is ready to help in case of an emergency. Wishing you a safe and happy holiday season!
