Hey Eagle families,
Our PE teachers, Mr. Barber and Mr. Morales, are excited to announce that Floris Elementary has joined the American Heart Association’s Kids Heart Challenge (KHC). As a part of this event, your child will be learning about heart health, will get moving with fun, heart-healthy activities, and learn how to reduce their stress levels while building empathy and kindness.
The Kids Heart Challenge is a fundraiser for the American Heart Association (a nonprofit organization) and all Floris students have the opportunity to raise funds to help others with special hearts. As an added incentive for Floris families to join, a percentage of the funds raised will go back to our school to help us purchase new physical education equipment. Floris kicks off its Kids Heart Challenge on February 20 and it concludes on March 22 with a goal of raising $5,000!
Floris students will be involved in a kickoff assembly during their specials times on the following days:
- Thursday, February 22 - Grades 4, 5, 6
- Friday, February 23 - Grades K, 1, 2, 3
The Kids Heart Challenge is an online fundraiser. To join us, please check out this Guide to Getting Started. Download the Kids Heart Challenge App or visit heart.org/KHC to register today and earn your own BE THE TORCH WRISTBAND so you can help light the way!
Once you've registered, start Finn’s Mission and complete the challenges. As a family you can help to create a community of lifesavers by learning the lifesaving steps of Hands-Only CPR. It’s quick, easy, and fun! Learn more about Finn and his special challenge HERE.
Please join us in support of heart health and thank you for keeping more hearts beating strong!
