We kicked off our American Heart Association's Kids Heart Challenge on February 1st.
Please join Tangelo Park Elementary in the fight against heart disease. Help your children go online at
Kids Heart Challenge or download the KHC App to make a pledge to be more heart healthy and earn a free glow-in-the-dark wristband.
Our goal is to have 100% of our students take their heart healthy challenge online to do a good deed, drink more water, or exercise more. When your child takes their challenge, they will become a Heart Hero!
This year, the mobile app unlocks even more fun and the Heart Hero characters and wristband come to life. As soon as your child raises $10 online, they will also receive
Echo and
Finn, two of your Heart Heroes with a clip to collect them all.
Our KHC event will take place on Monday, February 25th!
Thank you for your life-saving help!
