Jump Rope for Heart
Each year, our school raises money for the American Heart Association to help those with “sick hearts”. All the money that we collect is sent into the American Heart Association where they distribute it to Doctors, Patients, etc. This fundraiser is optional. Students do not have to collect donations if they do not want to. In celebration of this fundraiser, we also hold a Jump Rope for Heart day. On this day, music is playing, and students are engaged in stations that include jump ropes, hula-hoops, dancing, limbo. All Students participate on this day regardless if they collect money or not. Feel free to come on out and watch your child participate on his/her Jump Rope for Heart day.
Jump rope for heart dates are (the times are TBA):
March 2 for Tracks 1 & 3
March 9 for Tracks 2 & 4
Collection envelopes are due:
March 2 for Track 1
March 9 for Tracks 2,3,4
