We have a couple weeks to meet our school goals, so we’re inviting you to join the heart hero team TODAY! It’s free to sign up and share heart awareness with others on the AHA Schools App or online at http://www2.heart.org/goto/FranklinBoone

$50 raised = Pick the warm up activity in PE class
$100 raised = Lunch and Recess in the Gym with Mr. Hilmer
*Top Lifesaver (1 per grade level) = Pie Mr. Hilmer in the face at the end of the school year.
Whole School:
$3,000 raised = Every PE class will get 1 free choice day.
$6,500 raised = Mr. Hilmer will dress like a duck for the day.
