Mrs. Jessica Herrmann
Mrs. Lisa Kunes (Aide)
It takes heart to be a hero! I’m thrilled that our school is
participating in a very special community service program: the American Heart
Association’s Jump Rope For Heart.
By participating in Jump Rope For Heart, your child will
join millions of other children across the country in a meaningful opportunity
to learn and help others. They will learn how their hearts work and how to take
care of them through physical activity and nutrition. And they will learn about
children who have been affected by cardiovascular disease and how they can help
them. In short, your child will have fun and feel good by helping others.
Help your child get involved! First sign and return the
permission slip. Then help them with their learning and with their fund
raising! They’ll be bringing home some assignments to help them understand
nutrition and health—and they may be practicing new jump rope skills. Your
child will also be raising money to help others who have cardiovascular
disease, including kids! You can help by asking friends and family to give in
support of your child’s efforts. Our Web site makes it easy. Your child can set
up a Web page and you can e-mail friends/family to make secure donations. Visit americanheart.org/jump to get
started.
We are really excited about this year’s Jump Rope For Heart
event and the experience it offers our students. We hope you will support your
child’s participation in this lifesaving, educational event. To learn more
about the American Heart Association, Jump Rope For Heart, how children are
affected by heart disease and how to keep your own family healthy, visit americanheart.org/jump.
Let’s help our children be heart heroes!
Sincerely,
Jessica Herrmann
