Kids Heart Challenge

Our school is once again participating in the American Heart Association Kids Heart Challenge starting March 4^th, 2024!

Our students will be learning about staying strong in body and mind. We are asking for your help to reach our goal of 100% of our families learning the lifesaving skill of Hands-Only CPR. Please take a moment to watch this video of 5-year-old Phil and his mother, Megan. Earlier this year, they saved a life because they watched the Kids Heart Challenge Hands-Only CPR video.

Get started early and be the first at our school to complete Finn’s Mission!

• Register: http://www2.heart.org/goto/NorthwoodElementarySchool or download the free “AHA Schools” app on your mobile device.
• Complete Finn’s Mission: Watch the 2-minute Hands-Only CPR video featuring cardiac arrest survivor, Damar Hamlin, and watch a music video on the warning signs of a stroke (F.A.S.T.).
• Share with Family & Friends: Send messages via social media, text messages and/or email.

We can’t wait to see our school create a community of lifesavers this year.

Thank you,

Ms. Murray & Mr. Micali
