Independence Elementary School families, 
We just kicked off the American Heart Association’s Kids Heart Challenge! Get ready to change and save lives! Sign up today and earn your wristband!
Through Finn’s Mission, you’ll learn the lifesaving skill of Hands-Only CPR and how to recognize a stroke. Here are the next steps to take today and be one of the first to complete your mission:

• Sign up here or download the free “AHA Schools” app for iPhone or Android. 
• Raise funds to help kids with special hearts and start earning thank-you gifts.
• Complete Finn’s Mission: Learn Hands-Only CPR, earn your lifesavers cape and be entered to win two Super Bowl tickets!

 
Now is the time to join our team! We need your help to reach our goal!
 
If 50% of our families sign up, our school will earn a $500 gift certificate for physical activity and recess equipment to support the health of our school community.
 
I can’t wait to see our school create a community of lifesavers this year. 
 
Thank you!
​
Mr. Peters
Principal
