Jump Rope for Heart

 
Jump Rope for Heart:	
       			
We have recently completed our Jump Rope for Heart after school event, 
which benefits the American Heart Association.  We had over 130 
students in grades 1-5 participate and volunteer their time and efforts 
into this service project.  The American Heart Association helps save 
lives through research and education programs.  Soda Creek 
Elementary School students raised over $7,000.00 to donate to this 
worthy cause.  All of the donations will go directly to the American Heart 
Association of Colorado, which provides programs for our state, our 
community, and healthy heart curriculum here at Soda Creek 
Elementary.  Many students raised money and were jumping in memory 
or for a friend or relative suffering from a heart complication.

Our two events included lots of fun as the students jump roped, danced, 
hula hooped, played fun games, and received door prizes.   Our event 
was a huge success! Thank you to all of our student and parent 
volunteers for making a difference and helping to save lives.  HEART 
POWER!

In class we have been learning about Heart Power!  We have been 
learning about the function of the heart as well as how to keep it healthy.  
Heart Power is as easy as 1,2,3…
1. Eat Healthy Stuff!
2. Move Around Enough!
3. Live Tobacco Free!
