Jump Rope for Heart

It was a lot of fun jumping rope today with all the HMS students! Our hearts were pumping.  We know how important it is to be active.

      

Aloha Parents,

The keiki participated in the annual Jump Rope for Heart campaign today under perfect weather conditions. Through Jump Rope for Heart, they learned jump rope skills and how their hearts work. They also raised money, through your generous donations, to help other children with special hearts. There were several heart healthy events today; jumping rope, a balance beam, an obstacle course, jump rope competition between the grade levels and even among several teachers!
Let's continue to keep active every day to build strong hearts and to stay healthy. Mahalo to the friends, relatives, and families who showed their support to this cause.
