Just call me a road warrior. Can't help but think there's a better way to connect with school partners. Do many schools/teachers have access to web cameras, iPhones or iPads? It would be so useful and cost effective to Skype or use other online video mtg. resources.

So far, 148 schools across Kentuckiana are partnering with the American Heart Association this school year to promote healthy lifestyles and helping those with hearts that aren't so healthy.

A great example of why we are working so hard to grow school partnerships!! Without the AHA and laws in Texas requiring AED’s in schools, this little girl would not be alive today.
