Discovery Partners with Jump Rope for Heart Program

Discovery Elementary is again partnering with the American Heart Association's Jump Rope for Heart program. Jump Rope for Heart focuses on healthy living, physical fitness, and community service.

The event is taking place this week at school during PE classes. Donation envelopes have also been sent home to students in grades one through five. For every $1,000 students raise, Discovery will receive a $100 U.S. Games gift certificate to use for PE equipment that the whole school can enjoy. Students who bring back a donation envelope will receive a bookmark and a sticker, and the classroom that brings back the most envelopes will receive an extra session of PE!

Students can raise contributions in person or online. Here's a link that shows you how to sign up for the Discovery team online: http://www.heart.org/idc/groups/heart-public/@wcm/@fdr/documents/downloadable/ucm_447273.pdf.  All donations are due by Friday, Feb. 20!
