Epping Elementary will be participating in

National Wear Red Day®

Friday, February 1, 2019

How can you and your child participate in National Wear Red Day at EES?

• Have them wear red clothes on Friday February 1, 2019.

• Have your child buy a snack from the snack cart. The PTO will be donating all

snack cart proceeds from Friday 2/1/19 to the Go Red for Women Campaign.

• You can also make a personal donation (if you choose) to the Wear Red Day campaign online at: https://donatenow.heart.org/goredforwomen/

The fact is: Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women, causing 1 in 3 deaths each year. That’s approximately one woman every minute!

But it doesn’t affect all women alike, and the warning signs for women aren’t the same in men.

The good news is that 80 percent of cardiac events may be prevented with education and lifestyle changes.

There are several misconceptions about heart disease in women, and they could be putting you at risk. The American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women movement advocates for more research and swifter action for women’s heart health for this very reason.

Why Go Red? By doing so you help support educational programs to increase women’s awareness and critical research to discover scientific knowledge about cardiovascular health.

Go Red For Women is a movement that starts with you. Lead by example and make the time to “Know Your Numbers.” It’s knowledge that could save your life. Five numbers, that all women should know to take control of their heart health are: Total Cholesterol, HDL (good) Cholesterol, Blood Pressure, Blood Sugar and Body Mass Index (BMI). Knowing these numbers can help women and their healthcare provider determine their risk for developing cardiovascular diseases. It’s time for all women to learn the most critical numbers in their life — their hearts depend on it.

We couldn’t make positive changes without the support and donations by individuals like you.

National Elementary Honor Society News
