All are welcome to attend
Jump Rope For Heart Event
February 7th, our school will hold its Jump Rope For Heart - 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.
 
Congenital heart defects are the most common cause of infant death from birth defects. Many children are alive today because of treatments not available even 10 years ago and each of us knows someone who has suffered from heart disease or
stroke - it can affect anyone at any age.
 
The money not only benefits the American Heart Association, but also makes our school eligible to receive certificates for P.E. equipment. The students will be participating in fun jump rope activities and learning to become more heart
healthy. Childhood obesity is an epidemic and the number of overweight kids and adolescents is growing at a rapid pace. Jump Rope For Heart is an educational and fun way to teach the students to begin to take the steps toward living a heart healthy life and perhaps prolonging and saving their own lives in the future.
 
Declaration of Independence Workshop
Feb 2012 - Students will have a better understanding and appreciation of the United States of America and the meaning of freedom when they know and comprehend why and how
the Declaration of Independence was written and approved, and why and how the American Revolution was fought and won. "Children should be educated and instructed in the prinicples of freedom," John Adams once said. The story of the
Declaration of Independence should be a central component of that education.
