Introduction to Jump Rope for Heart 2017
February is "Heart Month." Here at Eastgate, we are diligently working on elevating our heart rates in PE class. We know that when we do this, our hearts get stronger, and can therefore do their job more effectively!
During this month, and much of March, we will be learning many jump rope and rhythmic skills that do just that... they get our hearts beating rapidly! Jump Rope for Heart is a great program, in which we will be working with the American Heart Association to raise awareness for all things heart related, including heart disease. Students have an opportunity to participate in a fundraiser, that helps the American Heart Association do all of the great things that they do.
The fundraising portion is completely optional, of course. Students should not feel compelled to participate in this piece. Students will, however, participate in a fun jump rope day later in March, where we will be jumping rope for those that have heart complications.
Your student will be coming home with a letter that explains how to participate in the fundraising piece. Everything will be done online only, as I cannot, nor do I want to take any cash or checks here at school. This letter is also outlined in the post below!
Please feel free to email me at barnesc@bsd405.org if you have any questions.
Here is a kickoff video that you can watch with your son or daughter as well!
