Hello Fred Wild Elementary School Families,
We are officially kicking off the Kids Heart Challenge with the American Heart Association, and we need your help getting your student registered online! 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 and completing Finn’s Mission!
PARENTS – HERE’S HOW TO GET STARTED
Step 1. Download the AHA Schools app for iPhone or Android to search for our school or click here to register your student online!
Step 2. Consider making a personal donation (All proceeds will go directly to the American Heart Association) and be sure to complete Finn’s Mission.
Step 3. Watch and send the CPR video to family and friends, sharing the lifesaving skills of Hands-Only CPR and the warning signs of a stroke. It will also allow them to make a personal donation to your student!
Thank you for joining us and helping our community!
