JUMP ROPE FOR HEART - Jump Rope For Heart is here! If you have a child in grades K-5, please check their Friday folder for information on how to register for our school team at heart.org/jump or by searching Jump/Hoops in the app store on your mobile device. Heart disease is the #1 killer of Americans. Therefore, our students are learning all about what they can do to keep their hearts healthy, take their own health challenge, and learn how they can help others by collecting donations for the American Heart Association. We are a healthy and service-minded community! Here is a recipe for a heart healthy muffin.
