GIORGI’S GYM
JUMP ROPE FOR HEART
On Tuesday, February 14, Hemingford Elementary School will be participating in the American Heart Association’s Jump Rope for Heart. These events are held at schools nationwide and not only help students learn about the benefits of regular physical activity and heart health, but also raise funds to support vital heart and stroke research as well as educational programs.
Each student will be bringing home a collection envelope with all the information about participating. There is even an online fund-raising tool found at www.heart.org/jump. Click the link “Students Register” and your child can personalize his or her own Web page and include a message about why he or she is participating in JRFH. Next send e-mails to friends and family to ask for support. They can donate online by credit/debit card and when you have completed raising money online, print your child’s online donation report and include it inside the collection envelope. Refer to the collection envelope for more detailed instructions on online fund raising.
Fund raising is strictly voluntary, and all K-6 students will be participating in the event on February 14 from 10:30 – 11:00 AM. They will be jumping rope in the high school gym with the 9th grade PE class helping to organize the event.
