Jump Rope for Heart

Jump Rope for Heart

The K-6 students participated in Jump Rope for Heart this week and really showed off their fabulous skipping and jumping skills. They had loads of fun and each group worked really well together, encouraging and helping each other. We had an awesome demonstration from Carrie and Emma and we also had students who couldn’t jump their rope at the beginning of our jump off, but could by the end! Thanks must go to our capable sports captains, school and vice captains; Ned, Alex, Skye, Josh and Julia for their help to manage the groups. So far our fundraising tally is $1765! Our top 5 fundraisers were; Fynn Overhall, Hugo Mayne, Harrison Croker, Hayden Croker and Parker Howell. Thank you to all the students who enthusiastically participated today and to those who managed to raise funds for the Heart Foundation.
