February 23rd
Dear Parents,
Great Falls will, once again, participate in the American Heart Association’s Kids Heart Challenge student exercise event! Throughout the years, our students have made tremendous donations supporting the American Heart Association!
Before our students ask for donations for the American Heart Association, they will learn (or review) the components of heart health, which are diet and exercise. Diet and exercise are critical elements of both the Physical Education Standards and the Health Standards. This donation drive gives Great Falls an opportunity to connect these concepts in a thoughtful way. The students will also learn how the American Heart Association uses donations to help save lives through their education efforts and research.
In addition to providing money for the AHA, this student exercise event provides funds that allow us to enhance learning beyond the classroom. It is our goal to provide children with a fun and engaging field day in June where students participate in wellness experiences outside of their regular PE classes.
Monday, March 1st and Tuesday, March 2nd - AHA Packets will go home with the students.
March 1st- April 8th - Students will collect donations for the AHA. The donations can be made online at heart.org/KHC or returned to Great Falls. Cash or checks made payable to Great Falls.
March 17th - April 1st - Students will participate in the exercise challenge during PE class.
Donations are due back by Thursday, April 8th.
We recognize that each family’s ability to contribute at this time may be impacted and strained by a number of factors, notably those associated with the current pandemic we are experiencing. Please know that a financial contribution of any amount is greatly appreciated, but not expected. Thank you for supporting this amazing cause!
