JRFH/HFH

NAHPERD encourages their members to be involved in this essential and exciting program. It gives the opportunity for schools to teach the benefits of physical activity and create awareness of healthy lifestyle choices. The American Heart Association provides curriculum ideas and helpful hints on how to make this event a success. The school community will have opportunities raise needed funds to address research, heart disease and stroke prevention and to goal set, receive prize winnings and physical education equipment for their schools. There are demonstration teams that will also help kick-off your big event with a free assembly. Contact Deb LaComb or Ellen Lucas for more information or call your local American Heart Association to get started.
