American Heart Association
Have you met heart hero, Finn? He’s sharing Finn’s Mission so we can all
help kids with special hearts –- kids like him! He’s also set a goal to get as
many families as possible to learn about heart health and the lifesaving
skill of Hands-Only CPR. You can help by taking Finn’s Mission. When
your student completes all the missions, they’ll earn Lifesavers Cape!
Denning School kicked off our American Heart Association games and mission today.
Ms. Sherie came and talked to our students all about what it takes to have a healthy heart. We talked a lot about Finn's Mission. You will find a flyer posted in this chat and your child also had one sent home with them today.
We had two students already complete Finn's Mission over the weekend.
Ms. Elliona and Ms. Loril. ❤️
You can help your child learn more when they sign up to be a heart hero. It's simple!

A Follow-Up from Frankfort CUSD #168: After talking with and reassuring some students in the bus lines about this afternoon's brief hold/soft lockdown, please reassure them as they get home that they were safe at all times. The person of interest, who was walking on the northeast side of town near Bryan Street and an old school, was quickly apprehended by the WFPD. After further investigation, he was carrying a "look-a-like" weapon and not a real one. We again thank the alert individuals of the public who alerted us immediately so that we can reach out to law enforcement to make that determination. It takes all of us to keep our students and schools safe. Enjoy the rest of your day.
From Frankfort CUSD #168: Within the last 10 minutes, our schools were briefly put into a "Hold" or soft lockdown status as there were reports of an individual walking down the street on the northwest side of town carrying a long gun. WFPD have apprehended the individual and we are now back to normal, "All Clear" operations and will keep our regular dismissal time.. Thanks go to the alert individuals who reported the incident.
