Hello Westside Elementary School Families,
We have officially kicked off the Kids Heart Challenge adventure with the American Heart Association, and we need your help! Over the next few weeks students will be learning about their heart, raising awareness and funds for the American Heart Association. Our school's goal is to raise $7,000.00 in donations and for every student to complete Finn's Mission!
The Adventure started today with your student(s) watching this video at school.
PARENTS – HERE’S HOW TO GET STARTED
Step 1. Visit our school’s Kids Heart Challenge page: http://www2.heart.org/site/TR?fr_id=7560&pg=company&company_id=398097 OR download the Kids Heart Challenge App for iPhone or Android to search for our school and sign up!
Step 2. Complete Finn’s Mission – this will be your map!
Your student will collect gems along the way, including their own Heart Heroes and more. Let’s have some fun for a great cause:
Any student that raises $150 will get to help tape Mr. Denney and Mr. Hunt to a column on driveway #1 during morning drop-off the week after Thanksgiving!
