February 13^th – 17^th Bennett Elementary school will hold its Jump Rope For Heart event during PE Class.  We will have fun heart healthy jump rope activities for the children and great prizes to win!

These events are held at schools nationwide and not only help students learn about the benefits of regular physical activity and heart health, but also raise funds to support vital research and education initiatives that save lives in our community.

Family and friends are welcome to support your child’s participation by going online to make a donation. Students can register online at our team page http://honor.americanheart.org/goto/BennettJump

Each student that registers on the Jump Rope for Heart website and sends out 15 emails, he/she will receive a scented pencil and enter into a drawing for great prizes!  If we reach our goal of 100 participants registered on the Jump Rope for Heart website that send out 15 emails to friends and family, Bennett Elementary wins $300 in free PE Equipment!

If you have questions about Jump Rope for Heart, please contact our PE teachers, Mr. Collins and Mrs. Miller.

Thank you for supporting this great cause!
