Over $6500 in pledges Students successful in raising money for heart foundation By Warren Morrill Jump Rope for Heart is a unique program which promotes physical education and cardiovascular health, while raising funds for the Ontario Heart Foundation. The fund raising part of Jump Rope for Heart consists of a two-hour Jump Event. Students skip in teams with members of each team taking turns in the event. Each member secures pledges for the time skipped by their team. To start off our program this year, we were fortunate to have the _ Thunder Beats. They are a Jump rope demonstration team from Thunder Bay who visited our schools and showed the students many skipping tricks, while Kelly Rennette and Crystal encourage all to participate. The Thunder Beats have travelled to various locations in Canada and the United States to compete in Jump events. Our Jump event was held April 13.
