2.Dear Fiske Families, We are excited to host Jump Rope for Heart again in Fitness & Health classes this February. We will be participating in many jumping stations, using short ropes, long ropes, aerobic steps, potato sacs and many other fun pieces of equipment. We will be raising money to donate to the American Heart Association as well. This part is completely voluntary. Fundraising forms have been sent home with your children and they will walk you through the fundraising part. Last year we raised almost $3,000; our best year yet! To make an online donation or to gather more information, please go to heart.org/jump and search for Fiske. Please return all forms by Feb. 26th. Students are learning how heart disease is still the leading cause of death in America. Thank you for doing your part to save a heart by chosing a health lifestyle. We will be promoting how jumping rope is one of the best forms of exercise to get a healthy heart. Thank you again for your support of our program. Just a reminder that for safety reasons students must wear sneakers in order to participate. We look forward to jumping in gym! Please contact me with any questions. Christina Gerst, x22383.An Invitation from Health and Fitness You are invited! Come and be a part of your child in “action” during Fitness and Health Open House week at Fiske. Parents and family members are encouraged to participate (or watch) in Fitness and Health classes during the week of February 29th to March 4th. Please find your child’s class and assigned “open house” time. Meet us in the gymnasium and feel free to join us with your yoga mat or share with your child. Participation is greatly encouraged.
