JUMP ROPE FOR HEART IS COMING
February 2012
Jump Rope for Heart will take place during P.E. classes in February 2012. We do not jump rope after school, but we do it during school so all students can participate in this wonderful event. If your child participates in the fundraising aspects of JRFH, all donations are due on the LAST DAY. This popular fundraiser not only empowers the students, and provides a memorable way to highlight heart health - it also creates a unique opportunity to afford new equipment for our gym. We have broken fundraising efforts in the past and we look forward to breaking records again this year! We appreciate your support! We will be practicing skills, learning new techniques and having a few contests with prizes.
Did you know that heart disease (stroke, high blood pressure and heart attacks) are the #1 killer of adults in the USA – both men and women? We continually talk to students about the importance of good nutrition and exercise in our efforts to reduce heart disease in future generations. For information about efforts to prevent heart desease see the American Heart Association
For special jump rope skills and drills go to Jump Rope Stars.
Parents, students or groups can create their own websites or submit a tee-shirt design. For more information about how you can have fun and get involved go to Fundraising ideas for students.
