As many of you all may know, February is Heart Health Awareness month (along with many others)…
We are wrapping up our Jump Rope for Heart activities this week, that is are the culminating event that ties into our fundraising with the American Heart Association.
Next week we will learn even more about the Heart, as we begin our Heart Adventure Course. This will take the students through an obstacle course that shows them how the heart pumps blood through the body, by using the students as blood cells.
Thanks for checking in,

We are approaching the month of February, which is National Heart Health Month. Every year we partner up with the American Heart Association and participate in the Jump Rope for Heart program. This program is designed to help AHA raise money to help find a cure for various Heart Diseases.
I have sent home envelopes with the students that want to participate in this program. Their reward for participating, is that they can earn prizes from the AHA. All money that is collected for Jump Rope for Heart is to be turned into the front office at Eastside Elementary by Friday, February 3rd.
We will actually perform our Jump Rope for Heart activities the following week (Feb. 6-10). These activities will be done during PE class, and all students will participate in the activities.
The rest of the month of February will be dedicated to learning about the heart, how it works, and how important it is to exercise in order to keep your heart healthy. We will learn all of this information by going through our Heart Adventure Course.
Thanks,
Coach Hill
