Jump Rope For Heart - May 24th

Hey all, due to a last minute opportunity for a fabulous field trip, our Jump Rope for Heart event has to be changed from Thursday, May 16th to Wednesday, May 15. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Students from Kindergarten to Grade 12 will be participating the Jump Rope for Heart initiative on Thursday, May 16th from 2:00 pm - 3:-00 pm.

Why we Jump!!

Supporting kids’ health for over 40 years, Jump Rope for Heart encourages kids to be active and help others by raising funds for life-saving heart and stroke research.

Healthy habits today help reduce kids’ risk of heart disease and stroke later in life. Kids who are active a minimum of 60 minutes daily are more likely to become healthy, active adults. Between the ages of 6 and 12, kids develop eating habits that may carry into adulthood. Last year, Jump and programs like it raised $32.6 million for research and supported 800 researchers.
