2011 Jump Rope for Heart

Grainwood's gymnasium was busy with jumpers finishing up the jump rope unit with the finale of Jump Rope for Heart. On March 11th grades 2-5 jumped rope for their entire Specialist period and finished the two-week jumping unit with great effort, which included a community service project to raise funds to be donated to the American Heart Association. Thanks to all that helped with the project and those that were able to donate to the cause. The American Heart Association uses the donated funds to do research on and educate people on the importance of keeping a healthy heart and gives suggestions of how to do that. Almost $2,500 was raised for the cause!

Thank you, again, if you were able to take part in this cause, from the American Heart Association and the Grainwood Physical Education staff.

From,
Mr. Larson, Your Physical Education Teacher
