Jump Rope For Heart

By:

Each year students participate in Jump Rope For Heart to promote community service through this educational program and to raise money to fund lifesaving research and educational programs. Students will set and achieve goals and discover that they can make a difference. This year $1000.00 was raised to help others with a special heart.

While students were raising money to help others, they were having fun and learning that good habits are key to good health. Healthy students perform better academically.
