Jumping for a Cause!

Jump Rope for Heart: Friday, February 13
Our school is participating in a very special community service program to raise funds for the American Heart Association. We are jumping to fight against our nation's #1 and #3 killers: cardiovascular diseases and stroke. Our Annual Jump Rope for Heart event helps students learn about the benefits of regular physical activity and heart health, and teaches children the value of giving back to those in need. Heart disease affects every family, so help us support the American Heart Association, as they help people live longer, healthier lives! Contact Coach Tanner with questions.
Look for flyers in your child's backpack. Donations are due on Monday, February 9. To donate online, please go to www.heart.org/jump

Relay for Life
|
Saturday, February 28
One of our community's greatest events is coming up: The Pinecrest, Palmetto Bay, and Cutler Bay Relay for Life on Saturday, February 28, at Evelyn Greer Park. Please consider getting involved in some way in this great community event.
Relay for Life is a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society focusing on community engagement and is not an actual race: it is an analogy, created to replicate a relay race, set around a track, with a group of teams working for months towards a fundraising goal. This is the event's fifth year, and the second year we have included our neighboring cities to the south. Our community has raised $500,000 over the past four years, making us one of the top 20 Relays for Life in the State of Florida.
More than 30 teams have already signed on this year, but opportunities to create your own team still exist -- in honor of someone currently battling cancer, or a survivor, or in memory of someone lost to cancer. Contact Cheri Ball at Cheri_Ball@yahoo.com to learn about creating a team, or to get involved in some way with this great community event.
