Jump Rope for Heart! This Friday

Dear Families:

Students in grades 2, 3, and 4 are going to be participating in Jump Rope for Heart this Friday, Oct 28th, at 9.45-11am.

Jump Rope for Heart is a national education and fundraising event sponsored by the American Heart Association and the Society of Health and Physical Educators (SHAPE); empowering students to improve their own health and help other kids with heart-health issues.

All students should have taken home a collection envelope with a permission form which is to be completed and returned to school before the event, preferably by Thursday. Students can also raise money online. Information on how to do that is here.

We are encouraging all students to raise some money for this important cause, no matter how small, and encouraging them to even donate some of their own money if this cause speaks to them. Every student will receive an identical prize regardless of how much they raise.

Please email Nikki Kent nkent@abingtonfriends.net  if you have any further questions about this event.

Thanks for your support!

The Physical Education Department
