Jump Rope for Heart!

The Sutro students all joined together on Thursday to do some jumping for heart!   Everyone did a fabulous job, and Room 11 jumped their hearts out.  For the speed jumping competition, our very own Jack won his division with 300 jumps per minute!  I was impressed with their devotion to the cause.  Good job, students!

"Jump Rope for Heart is a national educational fund-raising program that is sponsored by the American Heart Association and the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (AAHPERD).

Jump Rope for Heart engages elementary students in jumping rope while raising funds to support lifesaving heart and stroke research.  This educational program teaches physical fitness and promotes the value of community service to students and their families.  It shows students that they can contribute to their community's welfare."

Our classroom alone raised over 100 dollars for Jump Rope for Heart.  Thank you parents and students.  The American Heart Association appreciates your generosity and time!
