❤️ Pink Goes Red: Kids Edition ❤️ On February 21, 2026, at Sieden Prairie Elementary School, the Empower Our Families Committee, in collaboration with the Strands of Pearls Mentorship Program, proudly hosted the first-ever Pink Goes Red: Kids Edition.

Twenty-six girls in grades 3rd–5th participated in an interactive heart health experience that combined education, culture, and movement. Dr. Katrina Randle, Pharmacist, led a hands-on balloon and straw simulation to demonstrate how the heart works and how blood flow impacts heart function. The girls also engaged in African dance as a heart-healthy activity, learning how joyful movement strengthens the heart and keeps their bodies active and strong. Participants also explored heart-healthy food options, reinforcing the importance of making nutritious choices to support cardiovascular wellness. This inaugural Kids Edition created a meaningful foundation for youth heart health education in our community. #PinkGoesRed #Community #EmpowerOurFamilies #StrandsOfPearls #HeartHealth
