Oak Hill is excited to announce our participation in the American Heart Association's Kids Heart Challenge this year. Last Friday, we launched this initiative with a dedicated assembly. Students will bring home a flyer containing important information about the program this week. Our goal is for at least 50% of each class to complete Finn’s Mission by February 21st, which involves learning hands-only CPR and gaining the skills to potentially save a life. We encourage all families to engage with this initiative and take advantage of the resources available on the Kids Heart Challenge website.
