Through Finn’s Mission, you’ll learn the lifesaving skill of Hands-Only CPR and how to recognize a stroke. Here are the next steps to take today and be one of the first to complete your mission:
1. Sign Up http://www2.heart.org/goto/SabalPalm and download the free “AHA Schools” app.
2. Raise funds to help kids with special hearts and start earning thank-you gifts.
3. Complete Finn’s Mission: Learn Hands-Only CPR, earn your lifesavers cape and be entered to win two Super Bowl tickets!
Now is the time to join our team! We need your help to reach our goal!
If 50% of our families sign up our school will earn a $500 gift certificate for physical activity and recess equipment to support the health of our school community.
Plus, students who raise $100 to help fight heart disease and stroke will get to PIE coach Angerman!
I can’t wait to see our school create a community of lifesavers this year.
Thank you!
