1. Every year, we as a community here at MaST III participate in a program called the Kids Heart Challenge

• • • • This challenge allows students/parents to become "Heart Heroes" with donating money to those who have "sick hearts." All proceeds go to the American Heart Association.

      • KHC prepares elementary students for success by supporting their physical and emotional well-being with essential resources for educators.

2. The Kids Heart Challenge is a service-learning program from the American Heart Association that helps students learn about healthy living and raise funds for heart health. The program includes: 

• Activities: Fun activities for students to get moving, such as basketball, jump rope, and obstacle courses 

• Educational modules: Curriculum modules that teach students about heart health, personal and social responsibility, and healthy eating 

• Life skills: Lessons on how to make smart food choices, avoid vaping and tobacco, and perform Hands-Only CPR 

• Family engagement: Ideas for engaging families in the program 

• Communication starters: Resources to help faculty and parents address concerns about teen vaping and smoking 

• Volunteer opportunities: Students can become Heart Heroes and raise funds for heart health 

• Finn's Mission: Students can learn Hands-Only CPR and raise donations by completing Finn's Mission
