Message from Coach Neese
Jump Rope for Heart
Thanks to all of our Mooneyham students and families who have already raised $3,480.00 for our $10,000 goal, WOOHOO, BUT we only have 10 students (out of 800+) signed up for the NEW Zoo Crew Challenge.
We have been learning about the heart and will continue doing activities for the next few weeks, ending March 13-17 with “Jump Rope for Heart” stations. We have until March 17th to raise money and take the Zoo Crew Challenge!
Every year we raise money for American Heart Association through “Jump Rope for Heart” BUT this year they have added something I think is a great idea so that it’s not just about the donations and/or thank you prizes.
The “challenge” is to focus on what we should do to keep our hearts healthy and to also spread the word to family and friends through a personal FUN Zoo Crew e-card.
When I signed up for Jump Rope for Heart with my son for his school, we did the e-card and he really enjoyed it. He loves to go to his page each day and click “YES” that he met his challenge and see the adventures he gets to go on.
*Please understand that the e-card is different than just sending a regular email to someone about Jump Rope for heart.
See details below:
To complete the Zoo Crew E-card Challenge, students will complete these steps:
1. Register online at www.heart.org/jump
2. Click “Take the Zoo Crew E-card challenge” and follow the prompts to create their e-card, choose a heart healthy challenge, and send e-cards out to 10 people asking them to take the heart healthy challenge with them!
Students will earn Rory’s Zoo Crew Badge for their lanyard and our school earns PE equipment! Please see our Homework with Heart that went home this week. We encourage you to help your child follow the steps to complete the Zoo Crew Challenge!
Thanks for supporting our students as they put what they’re learning during Jump Rope for Heart into ACTION! ALSO, right now, through a partnership between the American Heart Association and US Games, we have the opportunity to earn gift certificates for BONUS PE EQUIPMENT when students complete the Zoo Crew Challenge!
50 students complete the Zoo Crew E-card Challenge = $100 IN FREE PE EQUIPMENT
100 students complete the Zoo Crew E-card Challenge = $300 IN FREE PE EQUIPMENT
200 students complete the Zoo Crew E-card Challenge = $500 IN FREE PE EQUIPMENT
