JUMP ROPE FOR HEART
In Support of The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada
June 4th to 7th During HPE Class
Do you like helping others?
Do you like helping others AND being active?
Well here’s your chance to do just that!
Wilkinson students in Grades 1 to 6 will be participating in Jump Rope For Heart during HPE class in order to raise money for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.
Designed for students in elementary school, Jump Rope for Heart helps: motivate kids to get active, reinforce healthy habits, teach the importance of social responsibility, and empower kids to make a difference by supporting a good cause. Jump Rope for Heart donations fund critical research that’s saving lives, preventing heart disease and stroke, and supporting survivors and their families.
How Can You Help?
1) By collecting donations from family, friends, co-workers and neighbours using the envelope provided by Mr. Kasaval. On the envelope you’ll find instructions about how to collect the money and record the information that the Heart and Stroke Foundation needs. Donations via envelopes are due in to Mr. Kasaval on Thursday, June 7th. Please be sure that students are with parents or trusted adults when going door to door.
