Kids Heart Challenge
The P.E. department is very excited to announce the kick-off to another amazing Kids Heart Challenge fundraising event. February is Heart Health Month so it is the perfect time for this special program.
Kids Heart Challenge (formerly Jump Rope for Heart) is a school fundraising program that raises money for the American Heart Association, increases awareness for healthy living, and gets students excited to take action.
The website is www.heart.org/kidsheartchallenge
This will be an in-class event. Students will celebrate during PE class.
Teachers of the top 3 classes for money raised will receive a $25 Amazon card. Only grades 2-5 will participate. Our goal is $10,000. Last year we raised over $14,000.
We look forward to working with your kids to enhance their knowledge, skills, and behaviors during this service project!!
Wear red Thursday, February 3 to support Heart Health!
