On Tuesday, March 19,  Jefferson Elementary students participated in Jump Rope for Heart.

Jump Rope for Heart is a program sponsored by the American Heart Association. Students from Jefferson Elementary stayed after school to jump rope and raise money for the American Heart Association. The money raised by the school helps fund potentially lifesaving research into heart and blood vessel diseases. Jump Rope for Heart is a fun and effective way to teach heart-healthy living. It emphasizes the importance of physical activity as children do something they enjoy, jumping rope.

Jefferson Elementary had 100 students participate, raising a total of $1169.00.
