A message from Mr. Harvey.
The Kids Heart Challenge (formerly known as Jump Rope for Heart) is a fun and exciting event where your student learns about their heart while helping others by raising money for the American Heart Association. It prepares your child for success through physical and emotional well-being.
Next week we’ll be kicking off our annual Kids Heart Challenge program. Your student will get a chance to meet Alexa, the featured heart hero for this year, along with the awesome new Hero crew who are here to teach us all about taking care of our own hearts and help others along the way.
Get a jump start! Take a moment to register your student online today – upon registering your student can select their heart healthy challenge and share their page with others. Students who raise $150 online donation by January 22nd will earn a special gift! It is FREE to register, and the class who has the highest percentage of students signed up will earn an EXTRA PE DAY!
