Jump Rope for Heart

We have a major activity taking place during the month of March. The

third and fourth grades will be participating in the annual Jump Rope

for Heart event. This is a fundraiser for the American Heart

Association.  I will be giving the kids a lot more information about

the fundraiser during the first week of March. They will bring home a

fundraiser packet and have a few weeks to raise money. It is not

required that all kids raise money, but strongly encouraged as all the

money goes towards the fight against heart disease and stroke. We will

jump rope during each class room's last two P.E. classes before spring

break. This is a fun activity that goes towards a great cause, and the kids 

can earn some prizes along the way.

Here is a website with a lot of general information about the American Heart Association and the Jump Rope for Heart event:
