Jump Rope For Heart 'Jump Off Day' - 16th September

Heart Foundation Jump Rope for Heart is renowned as being one of Australia’s most popular

fundraising event programs in schools. Heart Foundation Jump Rope for Heart is all about learning how to keep fit and healthy. It improves the kids' strength and confidence in physical activities and builds healthy bones and muscles. Students can have lots of fun with their class mates and play lots of skipping games too. At the same time they will be helping save Australian lives by asking their family and friends to sponsor them for being a part of this fun program. Funds raised go towards research to help the fight against heart disease and stroke.

Each year over 400,000 students get involved and over 700,000 families and friends sponsor participating students in support of the Heart Foundations lifesaving work.

 

This year Eppalock Primary School are getting involved with Jump Rope for Heart and holding a ‘Jump Off Day’ on Monday 16th September 2013. As part of ‘Jump Rope for Heart’ a Sponsorship form is attached to this weeks newsletter in which students can collect donations which will help the Heart Foundation continue their important work, fund lifesaving research and educational program. There are also some great thank you prizes available and these and more details are listed within you ‘sponsorship form’ which was sent home with the newsletter last week.
