Jefferson Jumps for Hearts Print
Written by P. Covert

Jefferson School students raised over $4000 for the American Heart Association through their Jump Rope for Heart program.  Over 100 students collected funds for this worthy cause. During our jump rope unit, February 15th-25th, 2011, Jefferson students learned about heart health and how nutrition and physical activity helps us live longer, healthier lives.  Thank you to all parents for their participation and support.
Jump Rope For Heart and Hoops For Heart are national education and fundraising events sponsored by the American Heart Association and the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (AAHPERD).

These events engage elementary and middle school students with jumping rope or playing basketball while empowering them to improve their own health and help other kids with heart-health issues.  And both programs are great ways to satisfy the physical education standards as determined by NASPE (National Association for Sport and Physical Education) and AAHE (American Association for Health Education).


Jump Rope For Heart and Hoops For Heart Help Students Grow!

Kids learn the value of community service and become empowered to contribute to their community's welfare.
Children join together in helping other kids with special hearts.

Dixon Public Schools, in cooperation with the community, will provide students with a comprehensive educational program that produces well-educated, self-sufficient, and involved citizens.
