February is American Heart Month. It is also the time of year when Maple Lake Elementary students focus on jumping rope to stay healthy. Needless to say, Jump for Heart is kicking off this week and students at MLE will begin learning and discussing the heart, heart disease, and how we can lead a healthy lifestyle. Jump for Heart is a community service learning program offered by the American Heart Association that teaches kids the importance of developing heart-healthy habits, being physically active can be fun, and raising funds to support cardiovascular research and education can help save lives all across the world.
The following link, Kids we've helped , is an example of the how the money collected through the Jump for Heart program can help save lives. Please look in your son or daughter's Wednesday Envelope on February 11th to find more information about the Jump for Heart program. Any and all donations collected for the Jump for Heart program should be returned to school by February 25th.
Contact Mr. Ronnenberg with any questions or concerns.
