February is Heart Month!
To bring awareness of how to get a healthy heart as well as help those who need help with their hearts, the middle school is participating in Jump Rope For Heart!
They are doing heart healthy activities during their pe classes that they can share with you at home. They are also raising money for the American Heart Association. You can make a donation by going to this link www2.heart.org/goto/wywla and be a heart hero today! WYWLA's goal is to raise $1,500. Will you help us meet our goal? The last day to donate is February 14th.
