Dear Teachers,

The following sentence is to be addressed to highschool students.

"Be coolheaded and warmhearted in everything you do!"

Does above sentence make sense and sound natural to a native speaker?

Your advice will be appreciated.

Yes, it's fine, or you could say something like 'Keep a cool head and be warm hearted...'

Sorry, I have made two spelling mistakes in above message: I should have spelled " learners" and "warmhearted." I am afraid the latter mistake has ruined my message. I've told myself that I should keep a cool head whenever I write."

boone, a kind sentiment is never ruined by a tiny mistake.

I would, for what it's worth, use hyphens: cool-headed and warm-hearted
