Jumping for a Healthy Heart at Veterans Park Elementary School

Veterans Park Elementary School hosted it's 10th annual Jump Rope for Heart event on February 12, 2014. At 4pm over 100 jumpers from grade 3-5 filled the gymnasium for an afternoon full of fun, jumping and some much needed healthy refreshments.

Together the participants raised $5,986 to benefit the American Heart Association. Fifth grade student Spencer Carlson was the top donor raising $655.00 and earning the privilege of being VP's Physical Education teacher for a day.
