Jump Rope for Heart

Letter from Mr. Price



PARENTS: In two weeks, FEB. 24th - 28th, our school is holding our annual Jump Rope for Heart event.  While encouraging community service, it is also an educational program.

Educational messages include:
· Staying tobacco free
· Eating right
· Exercise as a lifestyle
The dollars raised are critical to the development of lifesaving research.
Unfortunately, heart disease and stroke are the #1 and #4 killers in America today.  They account for almost as many deaths as all other causes combined. 

Did you know…
Every day 2500 people in America have a heart attack and 2100 people suffer a stroke.
Family & friends are welcome to support your child’s volunteering efforts by making contributions. 
Donations can be made in packets, online, or both!!!
