This month, students
in grades 3-5 are invited to participate in the “Jump Rope for Heart” community service project. This
project helps raise money for the American Heart Association’s (AHA) fight
against heart and blood vessel diseases. In addition to research, the AHA
provides valuable information and resources to our community regarding
cardiovascular health and the importance of leading a physically active
lifestyle.
During the week of
February 9th, students will be participating in a variety of jump
rope activities in both physical education and health class. If students
wish to volunteer to raise funds, they will need permission. Collection
envelopes will be sent home during the week of January 19th and family/friends can support
participation by donating to the American Heart Association. Participants
may earn incentive gifts based on contributions.
Children should never
go door to door seeking donations. All checks must be made out to the
American Heart Association and all cash should be consolidated into a check or
money order. The
deadline for contributions will be Friday, February 13th.
Thank you for your continued
support!
