Fort River is sponsoring a Jump Rope For Heart Jumpathon on February 11 & 12. All students in grades 1-6 will be participating at different times of the day for 45 minutes. Jump Rope for Heart is an event conducted nationwide to educate students about the benefits of aerobic exercise and heart health, while raising funds to support the American Heart Association’s fight against heart disease and stroke. We are encouraging children to establish a healthy lifestyle by including physical activity in their daily lives. Risks for later heart disease are often set in childhood but can be reversed by being physically active, not smoking and eating well. Collection envelopes will be sent home the first week in February with more information. Parents are invited to come and jump with their children on that day. It is a healthy day for the whole family!Yours in fitness,
Dianna Spaulding
Physical Education Teacher
Parents please note:
Ms. Spaulding is looking for parent volunteers to help count money during the jumpathon. She needs one or two people per hour. You can check the schedule here to see when your child's class will be jumping.
