St. Catherine of Siena School joined with the American Heart Association to sponsor a Jump Rope For Heart event on February 6 in Siena Hall. Students got their bodies moving and their hearts pumping while jumping rope, hula hoops, and hurdles. This year, St. Catherine of Siena School students raised over $5,700 for the American Heart Association. Shown above, kindergarten student Isabella M. enjoys doing jumping jacks with her class.
Jump Rope For Heart engages elementary students in jumping rope while raising funds to support lifesaving heart and stroke research. This educational program teaches physical fitness and promotes the value of community service to students and their families. It shows students that they can contribute to their community's welfare. Jump Rope For Heart is a national educational fund-raising program that is sponsored by the American Heart Association and the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (AAHPERD).
