Jump Rope for Heart
Published on Feb 6, 2018 18:05
Dear Parents or Guardians,
Our school is taking part in the Heart&Stroke Jump Rope for Heart event again this year. Jump
Rope for Heart is a unique and fun event from the Heart and Stroke
Foundation that gets our kids physically active and raises vital funds
to reduce the devastating effects of heart disease and stroke.
Why participate in Jump Rope for Heart?
- It gets your kids physically active, plus they learn important heart healthy tips and the value of goal setting
- Our school can earn valuable resources, such as sports equipment and electronics, through the HeartSmartTM Points Program
- Your support will help us invest in the future health of Canadian children.
In
Heart&Stroke Jump Rope for Heart, students participate in fun
skipping challenges. Leading up to event day, kids are encouraged to
raise funds (pledges) and in return earn thank you prizes for their
individual fundraising efforts. Each student is given a collection
envelope they can use to raise pledges from family, friends, and
neighbours. These envelopes will be available shortly. Students can fundraise online at JumpRopeForHeart.ca! Sponsors donating online will receive an automatic tax receipt.
Our Heart&Stroke Jump Rope for Heart Event Days are on Thursday February 15 and Friday February 16.
The teacher will inform your child on which event date they will be participating.
Please return the collection envelopes and pledges by Friday February 23.
Thank-you for your support of this worthy cause!
Ms. Ferguson
Event Coordinator
