Jump Rope for Heart News
Thank you to everyone who has turned in permission slips. We have over 450 kids signed up to participate. We are now in the process of putting groups of 6 children together to form jumping groups. The teachers will group our PK, K and 1st grade into jumping teams. Children in 2nd-5th may create their own jumping teams. The form for creating teams is located in the Great Hall by the JRFH display. The form should be filled out completely and put in JRFH box. All directions are on the form. There will be many children who do not sign up on a team. That's OK. I will make teams for those children.
Our fundraising portion of this activity is going very well. We have over 90 jumpers signed up online to collect pledges. If your family chooses to raise funds please consider using the online method. It is more efficient and saves me numerous hours of paper work. Just go to www.heart.org\jump Join the Lafayette team when you sign up.
If online is not for you, please try to turn cash collected into checks. Checks should be made out to "The American Heart Association". All funds raised should be put in the JRFH box in the Great Hall. Please make sure they are in an envelope with Childs name and class code.
Ms. McClure needs a baby pig. Does anybody have access to a farm or organization that might have a pig they could lend us for a couple of hours? If so, please contact me at school or at [email protected].
Dates to remember:
February 24th - We are jumping!
March 5th - Pledges are due.
Thank you for your support in this important community service project. If you have any questions please see Ms. McClure, Ms. Perll or Mr. Jackson.
