Jump Rope for Heart 2017

Dear Eastgate Families:

Our school is proud to partner with the American Heart Association through Jump Rope for Heart! Your student will learn heart healthy habits to keep their own hearts healthy. Students also have the opportunity to raise funds for the American Heart Association to fund research and educational materials to lower the risks of heart disease and stroke.



AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION MISSION: TO BUILD HEALTHIER LIVES FREE FROM CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE AND STROKE

MISSION FOCUSED: Your student will learn the importance of heart healthy choices and may even inspire a few other family members to live heart healthy too!
