Dear Parent/Guardian,

Your child has expressed an interest in Jump Rope for Heart – an educational program that teaches children how to keep their hearts healthy. Money raised by Jump Rope for Heart allows the American Heart Association to develop educational programs and materials for your child’s school. Equally important, it supports vital health research aimed at ending disability and death from heart disease. As always, this is strictly a voluntary program.

WHO: All SCASD Elementary School Students in Grades 2-5 

HOW: Students get together to jump rope as a group during their health and physical education lesson. They can ask for flat donations from people that they know. Checks should be made out to the American Heart Association. Please convert your cash to a check. Bring your money (and your online report if your student online fundraised) to the event in the envelope provided.

*WHERE: Corl Street Elementary School 

WHEN: Februrary 13th - February 17th, during their weekly HPE lesson

If you would like your child to participate in the Jump Rope for Heart program, have them complete the release form on the money envelope, tear it off, and give it to her/his physical education teacher. Bring the check(s) in the envelope provided on the day of the Jump Rope For Heart event.

If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Hoover at kah30@scasd.org.
