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>

This March our school will be taking part in the American Heart Association program. This is a program which spreads awareness about heart disease along with living a healthy lifestyle. Students also have the chance to go onto the school page and make donations. As they hit certain amounts of money, they will win prizes which I will be giving out. All donations will be done virtually.

On 2/28 we will have a kickoff assembly for the program in the auditorium. Grades 5-8 will attend 10th period and 9-12 will attend 11th period; seating chart to come.
