We had so much fun kicking off this year’s Kids Heart Challenge this week! We traveled the globe with this year’s heart heroes, who inspired our students to “Be The Torch” in the fight against heart disease by taking care of their own heart, helping others with special hearts, and completing Finn’s Mission with their family to learn lifesaving skills. We are so excited for our fun benchmark incentives this year! When we reach $4,000-Pajama Stuffed Animal Day, $8,000- lunch outside on the playground, $12,000-extra 30-minute recess, $15,000-GAME DAY(electronics included) and our BIG school goal of $17,500, the whole school will get a movie and popcorn party! Help your student get a head start by completing Finn’s Mission TODAY.
