WE ARE HEART HERO'S

Jump Rope for Heart is a fulfilling and exciting time for my students and me.  The students are learning about how their heart works, are being creative with the jump ropes and showing off their skills.

The students also get to learn about what it takes to be a heart hero. We need to keep ourselves healthy, but we need to help others be healthy too.  In some of the pictures, you will see our heart wall that includes the reasons why each individual student is a heart hero.  In P.E. class the students have been hula hoop jumping, playing artery avengers, “monkey in the middle” jumping and so much more!

Besides being heart heroes in class, the students are working hard outside of class too. Many students are raising donations from their families and friends to help other American youth have healthy hearts. Our school’s fundraising goal is $200.00. As of February 14, 2014 we have reached this goal!

 Our Wolverine heart heroes will not stop there -- we will continue fundraising until our finale event on February 26, 2014 at 1:00PM. If you would like to donate to our Jump Rope for Heart team or to a specific student, please contact me at mshirey@pathfindervillage.org To those that have already donated; thank you for your support and for being a heart hero!

 

Happy Valentine's Day,
