Kids Heart Challenge/American Heart Challenge

Dear families,

Not only do we want our students to learn, but we want them to be prepared. That’s why our school is taking on the Kids Heart Challenge/American Heart Challenge. It’s a service-learning program that raises awareness and funds for the mission of the American Heart Association, while teaching our students the importance of taking care of their mind and body health, and valuable lessons like being kind to others and learning how to save a life.

I would like to invite you to join our school team and learn to save a life through Finn’s Mission, where families can learn the lifesaving steps of Hands-Only CPR. Sign-up today at http://www2.heart.org/americanheartchallenge/

  1. Learn CPR today through Finn’s Mission
  2. Donate to your personal fundraising page
  3. Share with family and friends to ask for support to fund CPR education and training.

Thank you for your support! For more info, contact Mr. Zaccarella, <NZaccarella@buffaloschools.org>
