Things were jumping at Meadows Elementary School last
Friday. Third, fourth and fifth grade
students were jumping for heart to raise money for the American Heart
Association. “They are spending an hour
jumping rope, keeping their heart healthy and learning healthy heart habits,”
said physical education teacher Jill Meyer.
Kids jumped rope by themselves, others jumped with a partner while some
students used a long jump rope to learn teamwork skills as they took turns
jumping. The kids had a great time
jumping and helping raise money to help others.
Jump for heart usually takes place in February, but
Meadows got a jump start and in doing so raised more than $500.
We are the largest district in Shawnee County & believe that our students will change the world.
