Every year, for 26 years, CHCS has participated in the American Heart Association’s efforts to educate young people about the importance of keeping their hearts healthy. This year, we’re excited to add Hoops for Heart to our Jump for Heart event!
To kick off the event, we will be sending home participation envelopes today. I know! There is a lot going on as we come to the end of the school year, but I hope you will take a minute to sign the permission slip, so your child can participate. All you need to do is sign the slip and send it back to school tomorrow.
We also ask that you indicate whether or not you permit your child to enroll online. Students will be allowed to enter their name and password on the secure American Heart Association web site, giving them the ability to send emails (with parent supervision) to friends and family requesting donations. This eliminates the need for you or the school to handle any money. It’s all done electronically!
There is no required minimum donation for students to participate in the event, but those who bring in ANY amount will have a heart with their name on it posted on the HEART HERO banner.
There is also a prize program for those who wish to raise money for AHA. Prizes are listed on the donation envelope. Online donations also count towards the student’s total.
