Jump Rope for Life
Our school is gearing up to participate in Jump Rope for Heart to benefit the American Heart Association during the month of February. Our students are very excited to learn new jumping skills & get their hearts active & healthy! I’ve included important information to keep you up to date on the JRFH activities we will have going on in our school. We will be honoring students in our own school affected by heart disease and sending home materials at a school wide kickoff assembly on Thursday, January 26!
Attached is a very short video featuring Preston and his parents, who are grateful for all the work you are doing with Jump Rope For Heart to help kids like Preston who need help for their special hearts. Watch their video to learn more about their personal story. Then scroll down for the link for our school to register online!

Snow day
A funny for the day-I was told in order for school to be canceled and us to have a ‘snow’ day; the following three things must be done this evening:
1. Pajamas must be worn inside out.
2. You need to flush an ice cube down the toilet.
3. Spoons must be placed under pillows before bed.
I’ve heard of ‘snow’ dances, but not these random procedures. Who will be partaking this evening?
