American Heart Rewards/Thank you gifts update: I recently spoke with our representative from the American Heart Association/ Kid's Heart Challenge and she stated that the thank you gifts will not be sent until schools are opened back up. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. I just want to thank each and every student as well as any family members that helped out with this great event! When schools are opened back up, we will find a way to get your son/daughter their thank you gifts. Thank you for being patient with us as we work through these uncertain times. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to me and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks again, Go Mustangs!
