JUMP ROPE FOR HEART/HOOPS FOR HEART
Dear Parent/Guardian,
Fern Avenue PS is participating in the Heart & Stroke's Jump Rope For Heart/HOOPS for Heart program on Friday, May 18, 2012. This is a unique and fun program that gets kids physically active, teaches them about heart healthy choices and provides the school with valuable resources. The event also raies funds to support the Heart and Stroke Foundation in reducing the devasating effects of heat disease and stroke.
In Jump Rope for Heart students participate in fun skipping and jumping challenges as well as basketball hoop challenges. Leading up to event day, kids are encouraged to raise funds (pledges) and, in return, earn thank you prizes for their fundraising efforts. Each student is given a collection envelope they can use to raise pledges from family, friends and other people they know. For safety reasons, we suggest students DO NOT go door-to door.
All collection envelopes and pledges must be returned by: Monday, June 4, 2012.
Please contact Vera Ciric in the main office if you have any further enquires.
