The students of Covel D. Searcy Elementary are jumping at the chance to help fight heart disease.
The students of Covel D. Searcy Elementary are jumping at the chance to help fight heart disease and stroke our nation’s number one killer. The week of Feb. 5-9, the school will holds its annual Jump Rope for Heart event.
Students will jump rope to raise funds for the American Heart Association’s cardiovascular research and educational programs. Jump Rope for Heart is co-sponsored by the American Heart Association and the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance.
Jump Rope for Heart teaches participants about the importance of a healthy lifestyle that includes regular physical. activity, proper nutrition, and living tobacco-free. The event empowers children
as they provide vital community service and discover that they can make a difference. At the a same time, students enjoy being part of a team while jumping into the spirit of this fun-filled event.
Please help our children help others. When a student asks you to be a sponsor, support Jump Rope for Heart with whatever you can afford to give. For more information about the event, contact Doug Nichols at the elementary school at 663-2173.
