Dear Britton-Hecla Elementary Families:
Damar Hamlin with the NFL has recently partnered with the American Heart Association and Kids Heart Challenge to encourage as many families as possible to complete Finn's Mission and learn Hands Only CPR because it saved his life and he is forever grateful!
DO YOU THINK WE COULD GET JUST 10 MORE STUDENTS TO COMPLETE FINN'S MISSION BEFORE TUESDAY?

Check list: There’s still time! Have you…..
--Completed Finn’s Mission? CAN WE GET JUST 10 More Students to complete Finn's Mission by Tuesday?
--Collected Mystery Gifts for every $50 raised?
--Sent 10: Send 10 emails to friends and families asking for support?
IF WE HAVE 10 more FINN'S MISSIONS COMPLETED by Tuesday, Ms. Julie from Jump Rope for Heart will get slimed on video!
IF WE MAKE OUR SCHOOL GOAL of $8500 Mr. Skogstad will GET SLIMED!!!
Thank you for helping us save lives and learn how to take care of our own hearts!
