Note from Mr. Price

Dear Families,

This is a quick update and news about our annual Jump Rope for Heart event in February. This year we have already raised $10,998.30 in online donations which puts us #1 in the state so far!!! Great job Harlan!

I will be passing out red paper hearts to each student in the coming weeks.  I am asking all students to return the red heart to me with the name of the person/persons your child will be jumping for this year. They can decorate the heart if they would like to. For example, since I will be jumping for my nephew Blake and my Uncle Brian, I will be writing, “Blake” and “Uncle Brian” on my red heart. If you do not want to write last names that is totally fine. I will be making a collage with all the hearts that are turned in.

This year, we will be donating ducks to kids in hospitals. Students have the opportunity to donate one or some of the ducks that they earned to a child in a hospital. I have been talking to different hospitals about this and the donating of ducks will most likely take place in March.

Please keep in mind these dates:

Red Hearts Due: Feb 12^th or before

Envelopes Due: Feb 27^th *duck coupons can be turned in anytime*

Date(s) of Event:  During PE class Feb 23^th – 27^th

Duck donation to hospital: TBD

Students have been telling me that they have “X” amount of donations in there packets. If this is the case, write me a note to let me know and I will pass out the ducks to them. **Remember your student DOES NOT have to raise donations for the American Heart Association in order to participate in this event.**

Thanks for your support in this lifesaving event!
