Dear
Parents,
This is a quick
reminder that our annual Jump Rope for Heart is almost here. March 11th-13th our students will be jumping rope
to save lives. An easy and safe option to help your student with this
community service project is to go to www.heart.org/jump and help them set up
their own Jump Rope for Heart page. With your help your student can write
a letter about why heart health is important and how supporting the American
Heart Association can help save lives. They can then email their webpage as a
secure link to friends & family asking for their support. If you are
really tech savvy and have a Facebook account you can even donate your status
to our event! The instructions are right on the site when you sign up.
Bonus! Your
child will receive a Ninja Lifesaver Duck as a thank you when they raise an online
donation!
Special thank you to AIRTIME Trampoline Park for sponsoring our Jump
Rope for Heart event! Your child will receive HOOT, the owl who wants to
be a duck if they raise $50 for the AHA. Hoot comes with a special tag
from Airtime good for a free hour of jump time! See tag for details!

Did you know that
this year the American Heart Association is funding almost 9 million dollars in
research here in Michigan thanks in part to our school and the efforts of
schools just like ours who participate in Jump Rope for Heart? In addition to helping
others our school has the opportunity to earn US Games certificates from the
American Heart Association that will be used for PE equipment our students can
use every day.
Thank
you for helping our school and the American Heart Association in the fight against
heart disease.
