Jump Rope For Heart - May 24th

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.
