Valentine’s Day is only 3 days away!!!
American Heart month is off to a great start. Did you know that more than 300,000 amazing students and 21,000 schools nationwide are participating in Kids Heart Challenge this year. Each of those students have made a pledge to be active, move more and be kind to their hearts and others. I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day!
Kids Heart Challenge is something FUN for the kids and the amount of giving that has taken place is beyond generous. Currently our Primary and Midfle School students have received over $2500 in donations and 39 students have already registered. If you have not registered how about using the mid-winter break to take the time to register. Follow the link below.
Thank you G-A families for giving to a cause that impacts peoples lives. AND….Thank you from the bottom of my heart for loving our kids and for supporting the American Heart Association!
