Hey, Atkinson Elementary –
Kids Heart Challenge is going great! Let’s come together and finish strong! So far, we’ve raised $141.
We have some fun celebrations planned for when we get there. Any student that raises $100.00 will get to slime the PE Coaches!!
In order to reach our goal, we need everyone to take one last action – either go online and sign up at www.heart.org/KHC – or share one last opportunity to support your student in reaching the goal.
Student Health Challenges:
- 2 students pledged to be prepared
- 4 took the challenge to be active and move more
- 8 pledged to help others and be kind
Let’s celebrate the grades with the most heart:
- 1st Grade in the lead with $100 raised
- 4th Grade in second place with $30 raised
- 2nd Grade in third with $10 raised
Pro Tip: Social Sharing is the easiest way to reach a lot of people! Have your student make a quick video telling friends and family that someone in America has a heart attack every 40 seconds. Then, set a goal of getting 40 donations on their page to make a huge impact! Visit www.heart.org/KHC to get started or download the FREE app!
Conversation Prompt: This week’s featured challenge is Be Kind. How are they being kind when they share their page and raise funds for the American Heart Association? (Every time the link is clicked, someone has an opportunity to access resources to help them get healthier – and to make a donation and save a life.) Who doesn’t feel good about that?!
Great News: Did you know that 1 in 100 babies are born with a congenital heart defect? Meet Laney – a super cute baby who is thriving now because of research funded by the Kids Heart Challenge program!
