We have completed our Jump Rope for Heart for 2014. We have some pictures to show you from the event and also a picture of Kiara (who jumped 140 times in one minute) and Leah (who jumped 138 times in one minute). They are both in Mr. Gorts class. Way to go girls!! We had lots of fun and our 5th grade students from Mrs. Burdis’ class came into the gym to help the K classes with all their jumping stations. Our wonderful Georgetown Families raised $3604.66 for the American Heart Association. We can not thank you enough for supporting this important cause!

We held our annual Jump Rope for Heart last week and all went well.  The kids all received a sticker and a book mark and many went home with prizes for winning Longest Jumper or Longest backwards Jumper!  The kids all had a great time jumping and listening to music.  The best part was the students raised $3004.00 for the American Heart Association!!!!!  So thankful for our many families at Georgetown that helped with this very important cause!  The thank you gifts for your donations will come in after Spring Break.  We will hand them out during P.E. as soon as we ge them.  Thanks so much!

After finishing Jump Rope for Heart we had a total of $4737.74.   YAY!!!!!!!  We sent the check out to the American Heart Association and the students who donated money should receive their thank you gifts within 4-6 weeks.  Our top 4 donation givers were Johnny Torongeau with $155, Brandon Carr with $136, and Clayton and Madelynn Wierda each with $135.  Thanks so much to all the families that donated to this very worthy cause.  We so appreciate you!  Also, Sarah Spears in Mrs. Flory’s class, jumped 164 times in one minute!!  She received a medal!  Check out her picture below.

Just a quick reminder that if your child is raising money for Jump Rope For Heart, their pledge envelope is due this coming Monday, February 13.

Also please remember to have your students leave a pair of tennis shoes in their locker for P.E.   We are having students come with no tennis shoes and also shoes that are dirty because they are wearing them outside.  If they have a pair in their locker then they will be clean and prepared.  Thanks so much for your help.

Jump Rope for Heart information will be coming home with students Jan. 13-17.   We are trying to raise money for the American Heart Association again this year.   Heart disease is the nation’s No. 1 killer, and stroke is the third leading cause.  Childhood obesity has also increased to a point that it is considered an epidemic.   By raising money for the American Heart Association we are working together to tackle these problems.  The American Heart Association uses the money collected for research to end heart disease and for materials that teach about healthy hearts and why we need our young children to stay active.  Please help us raise funds for this important cause and help us top our amount of  $4691.00 that was raised last year.

P.E. Apparel forms will also be coming home Jan. 13-17.  Youngest and only will be getting these forms.  If you need a form you can click on the link below and print one off.   Forms and money are due back FEBRUARY 1 !

Jump Rope for Heart is coming Feb. 11, 14, and 15.  Information will be coming home this week with students.  If you would like your child to participate, sign the permission slip attached to the pledge envelope and either leave it attached or place it in the envelope.    All students will participate in the Jump Rope for Heart day during their P.E. class either on Feb. 11, 14 or 15.   Students do not have to raise money to participate in the jump at school.   We will do all sorts of jumping events on those days and will even have some prizes to give away.  This is a fun time for the students and a great way for them to help out by raising funds for the American Heart Association.
