Hi Huntington family,
I hope your family is safe and healthy in the midst of ongoing coronavirus developments. It’ important for me – personally and professionally – to know our Huntsmen girls and boys are taking care of themselves during this difficult time.
While the school closures are necessary to ensure the safety of our children, families and community, I can’t help to be genuinely concerned about the students’ missed school activities and valuable time spent with one another, including our Kids Heart Challenge. As I’m sure you know, we can’t kick the challenge off in person. However, we can virtually share resources to keep your kids active and busy at home.
I’m thrilled to share the American Heart Association is providing our school with a two-week virtual experience that pairs with Kids Heart Challenge and encourages families to engage in 30 minutes of heart-healthy activity or learning from home. It’s called Kick Cabin Fever to the Curb.
It will keep our students connected and help reduce stress and anxiety while staying physically active and helping our community. Daily emails will offer home activities, kid-friendly recipes and tips for parents to keep mental health and physical activity a priority. We are focused on the safety of your child. At the same time, keeping kids on the move and eating nutritious foods is extremely important to our students’ heart health. Over the next 10 days, your family can join in the following activities:
- DANCE
- KNOW YOUR HEART
- COMPLETE FINN’S MISSIONS
- JUMP!
- CONNECT THE DOTS
- KNOW THE STROKE SIGNS
- TIME TO COOK HEALTHY!
- GAME DAY
- SLAM DUNK! BE GRATEFUL
- MOVE MORE
The goal is to continue with planned activities to ensure consistency, while adjusting to school closures. This activity can help your child contribute to the health of Chillicothe and could serve as a welcome distraction to maximize the quarantine time by keeping kids active, having fun and raising funds to support lifesaving research.
If your child is registered for Kids Heart Challenge, we’re eager to share this new virtual challenge with you and your family. If they’re not yet registered, it’s time to log in to www.heart.org/khc and get excited about the fun, family-focused challenge.
Here are some ideas for each of the next 10 days!!!!
Have Fun and stay Healthy!!!
Mr. Fischer
