The students at Covel D. Searcy Elementary are jumping at the chance to help fight heart disease and stroke—our nation’s #1 killer. The week of Feb. 8-12, the school will hold 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 life-style 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 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.
