Jump Rope Donations

After the first count, Elizabeth Ide has done a fantastic job raising donations for the American Heart Association. The students raised a total of 5,047 dollars. I will continue to collect donations until Tuesday (February 24th). Thank you to all the students for participating in Jump Rope for Heart!

Jumping into this week!

First and second grade students have just finished their kickball unit. They did a great job working well as a team and learned to play different positions. All three grades this week will be preparing for Jump Rope for Heart on Friday. Kindergarten will be celebrating this event on different days because they do not have gym everyday. Mrs. Finn's class will be on Thursday(19th), Mrs. Kreps' class will be on the following Tuesday(24th), and Mrs. Mazurowski's class will be on the 20th, same as first and second grade. Students this week will be learning a little more about heart disease as well as participating in various jumping activities.

Jump Rope for Heart

Questions about Jump Rope for Heart are coming in. The money is being collected and will continue to be until after the event is over on February 20th. If your child has raised more than $50 I encourage them to bring it in prior to the event because students who raise $50 will receive a life saver to put up on the wall in the gym. The day of the event students will be participating in several jumping activities to celebrate their hard work!
