ROCHESTER - Heart disease is the number one killer of Americans every year. That's why February is dedicated to raising awareness about the impact of the disease.
This year, Rochester Intermediate Students are helping to save future lives by challenging families to learn a life-saving skill. We invite all families to take the challenge and make a difference.
The event goes from February 2nd to the 23rd. RIS has a goal of raising $3,000.
Join us in learning about heart health and raising funds to protect all hearts – especially other kids’! Through fun activities, we’ll discover ways to take care of our hearts and brains while practicing kindness and gratitude and learning ways to de-stress. Plus, we have the chance to earn PE equipment for our school!
