Ready, Set, JUMP!
Last year was our
first year participating in Jump Rope for Heart (JRFH) for the American Heart
Association and our school raised $19,070.45!
We were the #1 fundraising school for Southern Arizona, the #2 school for the
state of Arizona and the #13 school in the entire Western States Division! In
return for our participation and donations, the Sunrise PE program received $1100
in equipment from JRFH . . . it was a win-win for our school!
Keep a look out
for your child to bring home his/her JRFH packet during our kick-off the week
of October 1 – 7 (during PE classes). The actual jumping event will be held
during PE classes the week of November 2 – 6. During this time, we will be
learning all about the heart, how to keep it healthy, and we will be practicing
some exciting jump roping skills! This is also the time when your child can
reach out to family and friends and ask them to make a donation for them as
they Jump Rope for Heart. Asking for donations is optional but all students will
be able to participate in the jumping event.
New this year: we will only be accepting ONLINE donations!
It is easy and
secure to set up an online account for your child and you can reach out to a
lot more friends and family by sending out emails. Directions for setting up an
online account will be in your child’s packet or you can get a head start by
going to: www.heart.org/jump and find
our school. If for some reason you cannot donate online, you can send your
checks/money to:
American Heart Association
Attention: Theresa Hoge
2601 N. Campbell Ave. Suite #206
Tucson, Az. 85719
We will not be handling any checks or cash
at school. Thank you for
your cooperation. All donations are due
by November 24.
