All students enjoyed a day of jumping rope and learning how to use Chinese jump ropes, thanks to our amazing student teacher Ms. VanNoord. Check out the video of the kids “jumping the ring”, one of their FAVORITE JRFH activities. Thanks again to Ms. VanNoord for her twirling abilities!!!!

Jump Rope For Heart!
Jump Rope For Heart information will be coming home over the next week, as we see our classes. We had our best year ever last year with a total of $9,273.84 raised. We were blown away with how much our GT students raised. We are excited to see what our students can do this year.
All the funds raised go to the American Heart Association to help research heart disease. The heart is our strongest muscle in our body. Some people struggle with heart disease. This disease effects young and old and some of our own GT students and families. Thank you for helping us with this important cause.
The Jump date for our students will be Feb. 28-March 5. Students will be dedicating their P.E. time to jumping when they come to class during Feb. 28-March 5. All pledge envelopes and on-line donations are due on February 28.
Please take the time to read over the information your students come home with and we encourage you to try the on-line process this year! There is an informational sheet that will walk you right through how to do it! Join Miss VanNoord our student teacher and jump your way to good health!

Jump Rope for Heart, Coming February 15-20!
We are busy finishing up our hockey/pillo polo unit with all of our classes. Stay tuned for an update about the annual 5th grade teams vs. the teachers. We will be playing that on Feb. 1. 🙂
Starting January 27 -February 1(our 4 day rotation), we will be talking with our classes about Jump Rope For Heart. Each student will be getting information and a pledge envelope when they come to P.E., Jan. 27-Feb.1. Please take the time to read the information and sign up your child/children if you are willing to help raise money for the American Heart Association. Last year our school raised $8,648.00 and our goal this year is to raise the same or more. Please keep checking the blog for more information about JRFH!
JUMP ROPE FOR HEART
Coming soon…our annual Jump Rope for Heart Event. January 22-24 we will be sending home the Jump Rope for Heart collection envelopes. This is optional, but it is for a very good cause! All money collected will go to the American Heart Association. The money our school raises helps fund potentially lifesaving research for heart and blood vessel diseases. It also supports the development of educational materials that teach the importance of a healthy heart and staying physically fit. In short, our school is joining in the fight against our nation’s No. 1 killer- cardiovascular diseases and stroke.
All students will be participating in our JRFH event during PE class even if they choose not to collect donations. The dates of the event are Feb. 11-13. Please have all the collection envelopes handed in to us on or before Feb. 11.
If you would like your child to participate in the Jump Rope for Heart Event and raise money, please sign the consent form on the envelope (please leave it attached to the envelope) and your child can then begin to ask family and friends to support his/her participation through contributions. Your son/daughter can earn a number of prizes depending upon the amount of money collected. Last year we raised just over $4700.00…this year our goal is to do the same or better! Thanks for your help with this event!
