Have you pre-registered for the Kids Heart Challenge Event?
Join the Kids Heart Challenge! Our goal is to rally all families join our team, learn Hands-only CPR, build awareness, and raise lifesaving funds for the American Heart Association.
Ready to kick off? Sign up, make a lifesaving donation, and start Finn’s Mission by Downloading the free app for iPhone or Android, or click here to register online!
The heart of the matter:
One family saved a life with Hands-Only CPR, that they learned from Finn’s Mission. Hands-Only CPR, provided immediately after sudden cardiac arrest, can double or triple a victim's chance of survival.
Kids Heart Challenge Kicks off January 19, 2024
We are about to kick off the Kids Heart Challenge at Swenke! Dr. Miller has an important challenge for you. Check it out here.

Why does it matter?
Heart Disease is the leading cause of death in America and is 80% preventable. We want to empower families to take charge of their heart health.
GT Testing
ALL Kindergarten students will be assessed for GT in early spring, so no referral is required. Currently enrolled students in grades 1-5 may be referred by parents or teachers for the HORIZONS program. Referrals must be received by the last school day in November in order for students to be assessed this school year. (In grades 1-5, testing is for services beginning in the 2024-25 school year. For Kindergarten, services will start in March, 2024.
