For the 12th year now, our school is taking part in Jump Rope For Heart Fundraiser this year. This is a unique program combining physical and cardiovascular health education while raising funds to support the Heart and Stroke Foundation and our physical Education Program.
The fund raising part of Jump Rope for Heart consists of staff and students participating in a skipping challenge. Prior to the event, participants secure pledges. Students receive prizes based on pledges they collect individually. We suggest pledge forms be taken home by students and that pledges be secured from parents, relatives and close friends. For safety reasons, we do not want students to go door to door.
Key Jump Rope for Heart Dates:
Our school Jump is on April 25, 2014
Consent letters must be returned by April 14, 2014
Sponsor sheets and Collected Pledges must be returned by April 25, 2014.
All students will be participating in our school wide Jump Day. If it is your wish for your son/daughter to participate in the fundraising portion of our event, please ensure you complete and return the permission form sent home with students on Friday, April 11th and have it returned to your child’s teacher as soon as possible. To receive a free skipping rope, all distributed Heart & Stroke envelopes must be returned-even if no pledges are received.
Thank you
