Jump Rope for Heart


Jump Rope for Heart:

                This February we will be celebrating national Heart Month by participating in our annual Jump Rope for Heart event.  On Monday February 16th, students will do Jump Rope for Heart in their P.E. classes.  These events are held at schools nationwide and not only help students learn about the benefits of regular physical activity and heart health, but they also raise funds to support vital heart and stroke research as well as educational programs.  Attached to this information is a collection envelope for our event.  Students are encouraged to collect money for the American Heart Association.  The money we raise helps people in our community learn how to prevent heart disease and stroke and also helps our local patient care.  If your family chooses to participate in collecting contributions, please fill out the collection envelope and return it to your child’s teacher by Friday, February 20th.  (Checks may be made payable to the American Heart Association)  This year every student that raises money will earn a special gift!  If you have any questions, please contact Amanda Cowan.
