Jump Rope for Heart

February is Jump Rope for Heart month in Physical Education. Some of us have already jump started our Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser online, now lets get everyone involved. By participating you will be helping kids that have special hearts and need special care. The money you raise will help people with heart disease live longer and better lives. Our school’s goal is to raise $5200. If everyone participates, that is just over $8 per student. All money will be due Feb. 25th. Lets get heart healthy, have fun jumping, and save lives. Please look for more info to come home with your student on this this topic.
