Dear families,
Thank you for everything you’ve done and continue to do to support Roosevelt Elementary . You are one very important reason that our hearts are filled with gratitude during this wonderful time of year!
The holidays remind us to make moments that matter and enjoy every little thing – every smile, every laugh, every heartbeat. It’s also important that we know what an emergency heart event looks like and be ready to help someone in need.
About 70% of cardiac arrests happen in homes and many – far too many – family members are not prepared for a cardiac emergency. That is why our school is supporting the Kids Heart Challenge. It’s a service-learning program that raises awareness and funds for the mission of the American Heart Association, while teaching our families how to save a life.
We will be kicking off our Kids Heart Challenge in January so please take a few minutes to register your student(s) for the Kids Heart Challenge under our school and learn the lifesaving skill of Hands-Only CPR as a family over break at www.heart.org/schools. Students that complete Finn’s Mission will earn an entry for two tickets to Super Bowl LIX in 2025 and our school will be eligible for a $10,000 fitness equipment makeover for every 18 students who complete Finn’s Mission.
The FREE Heart Hero wristband for Registering and characters your child earns will not be handed out until our school officially kicks off our event Jan 23rd.
Also please watch this 2 min video of a kindergartener who helped his Mom save a life at their church this past year because of Kids Heart Challenge.

This is a moment that matters.
Gratefully,
