Jump
Rope For Heart and Hoops For Heart are national education and fundraising
events sponsored by the American Heart Association and the Society of Health
and Physical Educators (SHAPE).
These
events engage elementary and middle school students with jumping rope or
playing basketball while empowering them to improve their own health and help
other kids with heart-health issues. And both programs are great ways to
satisfy the physical education standards as determined by SHAPE America.
McDowell
Elementary School participated in "Jump Rope for Heart."
Jump
Rope For Heart Helps Students Grow! Here are a few things our student's learned
while having a great time organized by Mr. Brown and Mr. Moore.
- Kids learned the value of community service and became empowered to contribute to their community's welfare.
- Children joined together in helping other kids with special hearts.
- Students learned how to develop heart-healthy habits while being physically active.
- Participants learned jump rope skills they can use for the rest of their lives.
- Students helped our school earn gift certificates for free P.E. equipment!
The
school raised $1,971, which went way past the goal of $1,000. The class that
raised the most money was our fourth grade of Mr. Hamilton. They will get to
have the heart banner for their classroom for the rest of the year.
