Our Grizzlies are AWESOME!

Join the cause with the American Heart Association.

Did you know that more than 350,000 cardiac arrests happen outside of hospitals each year? That’s about the same number of people who visit Disneyland in a week!

 When cardiac arrests happen outside a hospital, they often require a bystander to step in and help. That’s why we are participating in 1 Week to Save a Life with the American Heart Association—to empower students with lifesaving skills.

 Students are encouraged to sign up and complete the 7 lifesaving steps in Finn’s Mission. Through this experience, they’ll learn critical skills and gain the confidence to act in an emergency.
Go to www.heart.org/schools for more information or to register.
