You may have seen the flyer and envelope that went home last week about our amazing Jump Rope for Heart event in PE class that helps raise money for the American Heart Association. We are already halfway to our goal after the first two weeks! If your child wants to get involved and win some cool prizes, check out our school website below to see how to donate online. The event takes place February 5th-9th during PE, with February 9th being the last day to turn in donations. Thank you so much to all that have participated so far!
