We are pleased to announce that students in all grades will again have
the opportunity to take part in Jump Rope for Heart. This event, sponsored
by the American Heart Association, teaches children the importance of good
health habits while they are volunteering to help a community organization.
All students are busy learning basic jump rope skills and making posters for
this event. This exciting event will take place during your childs physical
education day on Feb. 10, 11, or 12 and 4th and 5th graders will get to stay
afterschool, with parent permission on Feb. 12, 2010 from 3:30-4:45 pm.
Each student will jump 2 minutes, rest 2 minutes, and then jump again.
With your permission, your child can collect pledges and also receive prizes.
Children should not collect pledges door to door. We encourage parents to
