Griggs County Central School District

So far at GCC; 21 students have registered, 12 have learned Hand-Only CPR, & 10 have completed Finn's Mission. 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 Finn’s Lifesavers Award!
