Support Your Teen's Heart Health

As part of the DECA Community Awareness Project, Payton Richards, Shelby Shingler, and Luke Mangen have been preparing and doing great things to educate various audiences about the importance of heart health. During October, they shared a new stat, post, piece of information, and interview each day on Instagram. If you are on Instagram, please follow @Thunderboltsforheart. They did a fantastic job at really highlighting a lot of great things during the month.  They really want to educate a broad range of individuals. For example, they planned with the Northmont Curriculum Department, including teachers Jim Smith and Eric Newman, to get staff members CPR certified during the PD day on November 26th. 

Here's the newsletter they created for parents.

The big event they are organizing, in collaboration with 4th Grade Teacher Diane Schweitzer at Englewood Hills, is the first-ever Heart Day for all fourth graders at that school. After a productive meeting with representatives from Premier Health, students will have the opportunity to hear health professionals discuss everything related to heart health, including stress management, nutrition, and CPR.
