JUMP ROPE FOR HEART
Packets Due By October 10,2016
Final Information on Jump Rope 4 Heart
I hope your child is off to a great start for 2016 - 2017 school year. We have been very busy in Physical Education Class moving and having fun!
We do the Jump Rope 4 Heart fundraiser for the American Heart Association each year. Our PE department does get a small percentage of funding in the form of a US GAMES gift certificate. We use that to buy new equipment for our school.
Our state PE association (IAHPERD) also gets a portion which is used for PE and Health purposes throughout the state which include PE conferences, grants and advocacy.
A huge thank you to those students that have turned in packets already -- It is very much appreciated!
When your child is DONE collecting money, they may bring their packet into the gym and turn it in to the PE department. At that time, they will receive their Lanyard and lion.
The rest of the thank you gifts will be sent around the beginning of November after I have sent in all the money.
Please finish up collecting money this week and send it to school with your child by Friday.
We will be jumping rope from October 10 - 13 in PE class for JR4H.
**Please note -- your child can turn money in to us ANYTIME - even if it's after the deadline. It may take a little longer for them to get their thank you gifts as it will come in a separate order. **

Fall Fitness Tests
Our 2nd - 5th Graders are finishing up with our Fall Fitness Testing. They have done a cardio test (PACER for 2- 4 grade and 1 mile run for 4 and 5 grade). We also did a curl-up test, push-ups test and flexibility test.
I'd be happy to share your child's scores with you - feel free to stop in to see me during conferences. I will be located in my office in the gym.
Please encourage your child to practice curl-ups, push-ups, stretching and cardio (60 minutes of exercise a day) at home.
