Jump Rope For Heart
Our JHES Heart Heroes were out in full force this year, raising an amazing $20,000 for heart research and education! This American Heart Association Fundraiser provided a chance for students to be a positive force in our community and country. They should be so proud of themselves! Our event with 110 jumpers was a huge success and great fun! Thank you to all the parents and staff who helped us with this event!! JHES HEART HEROES……YOU ROCK!!!!! Take a look at our pictures to see how much fun we had!
